1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: This impeachment inquiry stuff. Let's talk about that. We have

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan here, Senator Ron Johnson is here. We're going

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: to talk about inflation tonight. I don't even know how

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: we're going to get to all this, but I know

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great show.

6
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: And I'm right.

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: You know I love tacos. To stay with me for

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: a moment. Stay with me. We're going to talk about

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: illegal immigration. I'm going somewhere, but I love tacos. I'm

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 1: a taco freak. Here's the problem. My wife likes them

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: but doesn't love them. My kids like them, but they

12
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: don't love them.

13
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: Me.

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: I always want tacos.

15
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: So if we're going out to dinner and there's family

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: dinner night and we're doing a vote, Hey, what do

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: we want? If I vote tacos, oftentimes I will not

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: have the votes to go get tacos. So I want

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 1: you to picture something. I tell wife, kids, Hey, taco night,

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: how about we vote for tacos? And I say no, no,

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't feel like it. And this has always been

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: sold as you know, a family decision. That's why we're

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: going to vote on it, a family decision. And after

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: they tell me they don't want tacos. I say, oh, okay,

25
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: all right, hey guys, I've got some good news.

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: Well good news for me.

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: I've adopted four children, and all four of these children

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: love tacos. So we're gonna go ahead and redo our

29
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: family vote and see who wins on where we're going

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: for dinner. Kind of ridiculous, isn't it. Yeah, that's happening

31
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,919
Speaker 1: to you right now. That's what's happening to every single

32
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: American citizen right now.

33
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: That's what illegal immigration is really truly about.

34
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: In the end, the people who run our society, the politicians,

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: the tech billionaires, the media people, all these people hate

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: this country. They have horrible plans for it. Everything you

37
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: know and love. They want to burn it all to

38
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: the ground. But the problem is we have this representative

39
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: republic thing, not a democracy. Keep in mind, representative republic

40
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: thing where the people every so often we will go

41
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: out and they'll vote on leadership. And that's a real problem.

42
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: You see, leadership wants to burn it down. The people

43
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: who live here don't want to burn it down.

44
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: So what are you gonna do?

45
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: If you're one of the leaders, you could, of course,

46
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: reform your ways, change your view. Maybe don't want to

47
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: burn it down, but that's not how these people think.

48
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: These people see themselves as kings queens, and they're of

49
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: course right. And you stupid peasant, you don't know what

50
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,839
Speaker 1: you You don't know what's best for you. So they're

51
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: not gonna change. What do they do instead?

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: Open up a border. It's easy.

53
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: If we're going to take a vote the population doesn't

54
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: like what I want, I'll just bring in a bunch

55
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: of people who do what the legals know it.

56
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: Do you care?

57
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

58
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 5: No, you don't care that we have.

59
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 3: To pay for all of this.

60
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: Look, look, look.

61
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 5: Like Americans are paying for all of this, do you guys?

62
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: You know that?

63
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 5: Like this is you know, money doesn't come out of nowhere.

64
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 4: Look right, pay seven thousand dollars for America.

65
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 5: It's so because you paid seven thousand dollars, And it's

66
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 5: okay if we pay something.

67
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 6: I don't care If this for America, I don't care.

68
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 5: So you're you're because you paid seven thousand. Yeah, it's

69
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: okay that Americans have to pay some money.

70
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 7: Too, Yeah, docles, America is my dream.

71
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: Thank you, and thank you Joe Biden for everything.

72
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 5: We love you, Joe Biden, you said, thank you, Joe Biden.

73
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: Now maybe you're boiling with rage right now, maybe you're

74
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: rolling your eyes at that guy. But set that aside

75
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: for a moment. Set the emotion aside for a moment.

76
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: Let me ask you something. That human being or his

77
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: children one day receives citizenship and.

78
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: The ability to vote in this country.

79
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: Do you think there's anything you, a person on the right,

80
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: could say to him that will have him vote Republican?

81
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do?

82
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: Appeal to the constitution, You're gonna talk to him about

83
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: low taxes, abortion, foreign policy? Do you think any of

84
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: those things are gonna tug at that guy's heart and

85
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: have him vote for you. No, that is a guaranteed

86
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: communist vote for the rest of America.

87
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 2: And that is the Grand Plan.

88
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: And that is why you see so much of what

89
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: you see right now in the House, in the Senate,

90
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: you see the GOP to their credit, and you know,

91
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: I'm loathed to get them credit. The GOP to their credit,

92
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: they attached Ukraine funding to border security, and Democrats are

93
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: of course freaking out about it.

94
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: What we can do that?

95
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: But I've got some real, real bad news for Ukraine.

96
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: The American communist, he's not going to set aside his

97
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: open border plans for you. You see an open border

98
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: flooding this country with people disloyal to this nation, people

99
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: who will financially destroy this nation. That is a central

100
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: part of the American communists plan to burn this country

101
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: to the ground. And I don't care what country it is, Ukraine, Israel, anybody,

102
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: none of you are going to get priority over that,

103
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: because for the American Democrat, for the American Communists, both

104
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: the elected ones, the media, attack whatever. For them, Remember,

105
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: America is the height of all evil and burning it

106
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: down is the most noble thing they can possibly do

107
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: for this country. Insane, illogical evil. Oh yeah, although those

108
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: things are most definitely there. Nevertheless, that's the country we

109
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: live in now, all right, talk to Senator Ron Johnson

110
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: about that right about now.

111
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: So joining me now.

112
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: Is the great Senator from the state of Wisconsin, Senator

113
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson. Senator I got a little chuckle out of

114
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: this one from Senator Chuck Schumer.

115
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 8: Both parties understand that aiding Ukraine and resisting Putin are

116
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 8: critical for our national security, but Republicans, and only Republicans,

117
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 8: are holding everything up because of unrealistic maximalist demands on

118
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 8: the border. Republicans would be giving Vladimir Putin the best

119
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 8: gift he could ask for.

120
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: Senator, could you break down for us what are these

121
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: unrealistic what did he call it? Maximalist positions that you're taking.

122
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: On the border. We want to secure it. It's just

123
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: that simple, yes, and we would be doing that.

124
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 9: We would be doing Biden in the Democrats and enormous

125
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 9: political favor if they would recognize what we're doing for

126
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 9: them and.

127
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: Help us. Let us help them cure the border.

128
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 9: The open border caused by President Biden and the Democrats

129
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 9: is a It's a clear and present danger to America.

130
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 9: And I've always believed that it was really the president's

131
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 9: first responsibility to keep America safe, to actually address clear

132
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 9: and present dangers. In this case, this president, this administration,

133
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 9: their allies in Congress, caused the clear and present dangers.

134
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 9: So again, we have to cure the border. It's got

135
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 9: to be our top priority. And the only leverage we

136
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 9: have right now is the funding that this administration claims

137
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 9: it wants for Ukraine.

138
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: I'm not so sure about that. I'm not so sure

139
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 3: about that.

140
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: Explain that, Why aren't you so sure about that. All

141
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: these people do is talk about Ukraine. You talk about

142
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Ukraine ten times as much as they talk about America.

143
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: You don't think they want this money.

144
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: We're just sort of hearing Scullle.

145
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 9: But behind the scenes that if push comes to shove,

146
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 9: you know, their true constituencies are not Ukrainians. It's uh,

147
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 9: it's the Dreamers, it's it's the radical leftist, it's the

148
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 9: it's the individuals that are protesting in support of Hamas

149
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 9: in Palestine.

150
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: That is the Democrats constituency.

151
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 9: And if push comes a shove, uh, they would much

152
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 9: rather uh, I guess, throw Ukraine under the bus and

153
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 9: not secure the border because that is what their constituency, constitution,

154
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 9: constituency wants.

155
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: They want an open border.

156
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: What a shock?

157
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: What a senator, could you please explain why any party,

158
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: Democrat or Republican would want to flood the country with

159
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: illegals who have no loyalty to this nation whatsoever. Now

160
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: we talk a lot about bipartisanship, which is the lamest

161
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: word ever, but that should be a pretty bipartisan thing.

162
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: If you're an American senator, congressman, president, securing the border

163
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: should be bipartisan, unless, of course, you wanted to burn

164
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: the country down.

165
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 9: Look what doing For example, in New York, they're letting

166
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 9: non citizens vote in local elections that they're promoting things

167
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 9: like mail in balloting, obviously expand the application of apps

168
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 9: steam balloting, while they relax virtually all the controls over

169
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 9: those apps tea ballots, even though the Baker Carter Commission,

170
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 9: totally bipartisan commission, said that appstein balloting is probably the

171
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 9: greatest potential for fraud in their election system. This is

172
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 9: what the Democrats are pushing. So you figure out all

173
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 9: the ways they are trying to make it easy to

174
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 9: cheat in elections, and then you realize that they've let

175
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 9: probably more than six million people in this country since

176
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 9: Joe Biden became present. Even though it's wideland wideland popular,

177
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 9: they're still doing it. And they're they're, you know, again,

178
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 9: claim that they want to support for Ukraine, and all

179
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 9: republics are saying, fine, we're sympathetic with the Ukrainian people's

180
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 9: plight as well, but we just think the first priority

181
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 9: should be secure borders.

182
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 3: So why don't we strike a deal.

183
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 9: We'll secreate the border, you can get Ukrainian funding, and

184
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 9: you know that's called compromise.

185
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 3: They're not interested in that compromise.

186
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 9: They want an open border because I think long term view,

187
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 9: those people are going to be grateful to them. They

188
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 9: will vote for Democrats, and it's all about power when

189
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 9: it comes to Democrats. So they want to do everything

190
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 9: they can to maintain and grow their power over your life.

191
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so these illegals, they obviously have plans to get

192
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: them voting in elections. That's not something that's ever going

193
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: to fly federally, right, That's not something that can fly federally, right.

194
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: It shouldn't.

195
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 9: But again, when you start and you've got jurisdictions where

196
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 9: they just mail out balanced to people, you.

197
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 3: Know, there's no control over that whatsoever. And so you know, they'll.

198
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 9: Make sure that these populations of people have been let

199
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 9: in by the Biden administration, they'll probably get those mail

200
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 9: in balanced as well. You know, I was in a

201
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 9: small town in Wisconsin, about fifteen thousand population.

202
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 3: They estimate their.

203
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 9: Migrant population from this latest surge. It's about five thousand people.

204
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 9: Over four hundred kids in their schools speaking a different dialect,

205
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 9: lingual teachers need translators. Okay, it's overwhelming their systems. But

206
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 9: you know this is what Democrats are along to happen.

207
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 2: Let's get to this real quick before I let you go.

208
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: Senator Mitt Romney went on TV had this to say

209
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: about the potential impeachment of Joe Biden.

210
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 10: Have you seen any evidence that President Biden has committed

211
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 10: high crimes and misdemeanors.

212
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 7: No, I don't see any evidence of that at all.

213
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 7: I think before you begin an impeachment inquiry, you ought

214
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 7: to have some evidence, some inclination that there's been wrongdoing,

215
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 7: and so far there's nothing of that nature that's been provided.

216
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 10: So are you opposed to the impeachment inquiry?

217
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 7: Well, if I were in the House, i'd vote against

218
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 7: it unless they were able to bring forward evidence that

219
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 7: suggests that there were a high crime or misdemeanor that

220
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 7: have been committed. But so far that hasn't been the case.

221
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: Now, obviously, Mitt Romney is very capable of reading. Everyone

222
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: can read the emails. Everyone knows the substance behind all this,

223
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: the eyewitnesses who have come forward, there's all kinds of evidence.

224
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 2: But all I'm.

225
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: Hearing from that senator is that there's no way Joe

226
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: Biden's getting impeached. And this whole thing's going to turn

227
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: into a gigantic waste of time because the GOP can't

228
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: get the job done.

229
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 9: Unfortunately, Senator Romney has been putting his hand in the

230
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 9: sand on the Bidens of Certainly during my investigation he

231
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 9: was not supportive of it. He was one of the

232
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 9: reasons that my committee members would not support the sub

233
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 9: poenis I would like to have issued to get to

234
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 9: the truth. But Santa Grassa and we already laid out

235
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 9: a very convincing case that a President Joe Biden would

236
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 9: be compromised by this vast webefere and facial entagment his

237
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 9: family was involved in that he obviously knew about.

238
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 3: So we laid that out in twenty twenty.

239
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 9: And now James Comer, Jordan Smith, those chairmen have done

240
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 9: a great job of filling in the piece of the puzzle,

241
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 9: laying out amount of evidence what would he consider forty

242
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 9: thousand dollars check made out to him by James Biden

243
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 9: right after James Biden gets two hundred thousand dollars basically

244
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 9: from the Chinese government. There is a growing amount of

245
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 9: evidence what did the Bidens do to get tens of

246
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 9: millions of dollars from these foreign financial entities. So again

247
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 9: it's you know, unfortunately in Santa Romney just has his

248
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 9: head buried, I'll say, in the sand. He doesn't want

249
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 9: to see. He doesn't want to see the oedist. Now,

250
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 9: he's probably right. Even if the House were too finally impeach.

251
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 9: Right now, all they're doing is moving toward an impeachment

252
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 9: inquiry so that the Bidens will be forced to cooperate

253
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 9: with the investigation like the.

254
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: Trump children did. Okay, so if there, if the House

255
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: would actually.

256
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 9: Impeach, present by my guests, unless the Democrats are ready

257
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 9: to throw a present binding the wolves and want a

258
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 9: different candidate, which is maybe maybe entirely true.

259
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 3: Uh, probably never get convicted in the set.

260
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 9: But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be pursuing and

261
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 9: exposing the truth, because the American people deserve the truth.

262
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: Man, Senators, stay on it. I appreciate it. All right,

263
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: we have more.

264
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: We have a lot more still on tonight's show.

265
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: We're even the food tonight, inflation and all kinds of things.

266
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 2: Before we do that, I want to do this. I

267
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: want to talk about our justice system for just a

268
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: brief moment.

269
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: Look, you know that there are parts of our justice system,

270
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: large parts of it that are against you. Now, it's

271
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: hard for us to make that adjustment and operate in

272
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: a country that way, but it is true. So what

273
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: is a normal person to do? I get these emails

274
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: all the time, Jesse?

275
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: What do I do?

276
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 3: What do I do?

277
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: And You've got to get an attorney? Normal people? Now?

278
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: Everyday people you me, we need attorneys. That's what Attorneys

279
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: for Freedom is all about. You carry a weapon on you?

280
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: What happens if you get in a shooting?

281
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: Ah, Jesse?

282
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: But it would only be self defense. It's good, I hope. So,

283
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: but do you think that's going to matter to that

284
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: George Soros, prosecutor. Attorneys for Freedom, they're our attorney. Go

285
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: get them on retainer, twenty four hours a day, seven

286
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: days a week, on retainer for you. Attorneys on retainer

287
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: dot us promo code Jesse. Attorneys on retainer dot us

288
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: promo code Jesse.

289
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: We'll be back.

290
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 11: The impeachment inquiry is necessary now, ours with em Or

291
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 11: just explained because we've come to this impasse where following

292
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 11: the facts where they lead is hitting a stone wall

293
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 11: because the White House is impeding that investigation. Now they're

294
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 11: not allowing witnesses to come forward in thousands of pages

295
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 11: of documents, So we have no choice to fulfill our

296
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 11: constitutional responsibility, we have to take the next step.

297
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: Okay, that sounds good, sounds like it's moving somewhere. Anyway,

298
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: Let's talk to the congressman about it. Joining me now,

299
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: the big cheese on the Hash Judiciary Committee, you know him,

300
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: Congressman Jim Jordan. Congressman. Okay, we've got a vote tomorrow.

301
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: What is all this? What are we supposed to make

302
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: of this?

303
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 2: Is Joe Biden going to be impeached tomorrow morning?

304
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 4: No, it just it helps us as we're trying to

305
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 4: do our oversight duty to take this formal vote full house. Remember,

306
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 4: the impeachment power is exclusively in the House of Representatives.

307
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 4: If we now have a majority of the House saying

308
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 4: we're in an official impeachment inquir re motive oversight, that's

309
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 4: going to help us. And here's the best example. There

310
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 4: are two lawyers we want to talk to in the

311
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 4: District Committee. We've talked to eight people as part of

312
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 4: the David Weiss investigation to Hunter Biden, including US Attorney

313
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 4: David Weiss now Special Council David Weiss.

314
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 6: We've talked to.

315
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 4: Those but there are two guys who want to talk

316
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 4: to mister Morgan, mister Daily, who were DOJ tax attorneys

317
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 4: who initially said they should charge for twenty fourteen twenty fifteen,

318
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 4: those years when Hunter Biden got the bulk of the Barisma,

319
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 4: this Ukrainian energy company, the bulk of that income from

320
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 4: that company, and then they changed their tune later in

321
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 4: the investigation.

322
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 6: No, no, no, we should in charge.

323
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 4: We want to know why DOJ won't let us talk

324
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 4: to those guys. So we think with this vote, it's

325
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 4: going to help us get those two guys in for

326
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 4: a deposition, as well as other people we need to

327
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 4: talk to. And as the speaker mentioned, the documents we

328
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 4: need to have as well.

329
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: Let's focus on that for a second. Congressman, the DOJ

330
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: won't let you talk to those guys. Now, I admit

331
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: I went to community college, and I'm not an intelligent person,

332
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: but I know a little bit about civics, and I

333
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: don't believe the DOJ is the President of the United

334
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: States of America's personal attorney and the attorney of his family.

335
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 4: Do I have that wrong, though, No, you got that

336
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 4: exactly right. It's supposed to be separate, equal branches of government,

337
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 4: and frankly, part of our oversight duty is to do

338
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 4: oversight of the executive branch, and so particularly the Judiciary

339
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 4: Committee over the Department of Justice. So we want to

340
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 4: talk to these guys. They're saying, oh, no, these aren't

341
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 4: the these aren't.

342
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 6: The top people. These are line level attorneys. We don't care.

343
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 4: There are important people that so far, everyone we have

344
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 4: talked to, by the way, everyone we have talked to,

345
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 4: has not refuted one word of the whistleblowers. And so

346
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 4: we want to talk to these two guys as well,

347
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 4: because the whistleblower's story is that these two attorneys initially

348
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 4: said charge those years and they instead said no, we're

349
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 4: not going to and they let the statute of limitations laps.

350
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 6: We think it's important we talk to them.

351
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 4: And now with this vote, assuming we win tomorrow, which

352
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 4: I think we will, I think we have a much

353
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 4: better chance of getting them in and getting the these

354
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 4: other witnesses in in a more timely fashion.

355
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: Okay, you said, assuming we win tomorrow, that was going

356
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: to be my next question. I saw today's surprise surprise

357
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: ken Bucks out on that what a shock but do

358
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: you think with this slim of a majority, we're going

359
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: to get this inque repassed.

360
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 4: I do, And we had a nice conference a week

361
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 4: and a half ago where we walked through what I

362
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 4: think is already pretty compelling evidence for why we need

363
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 4: to move ahead with a formal vote. So I do

364
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 4: think we're going to win tomorrow. Then we'll get these

365
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 4: witnesses in as soon as possible. We have a couple

366
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 4: important depositions this week, but we'll get that done as

367
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 4: soon as possible, and then we'll make a decision. We'll

368
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 4: make a decision based on the evidence in the facts.

369
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 4: Do we move forward, frankly, contrary to how the Democrats

370
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 4: did it four years ago, where they just decided they

371
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 4: were going tom peach President Trump right from the get go,

372
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 4: We're actually looking at the facts and the evidence, and

373
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 4: our decision will be driven by that.

374
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: Tongsan, can you talk about Faiza real quick? It's looks

375
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: like the GOP is, at least for the moment, holding

376
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: firm in the House on not just hand these powers

377
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: back to them.

378
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: Is that the case?

379
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 4: Well, that's certainly where I'm at, certainly where the House

380
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 4: Judiciary Committee is at. I think that's where the American

381
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 4: people are at. There are some who just want to

382
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 4: extend the current program. We want major reform. And the

383
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 4: major reform we want. The key ingredent we want is

384
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,959
Speaker 4: if they're going to if the FBI is going to

385
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 4: go search in this big haystack of information and they're

386
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 4: going to use Jesse Kelly's email address or your phone

387
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 4: number to go search and query that database, they should

388
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 4: get a warrant because you're an American citizen. That's how

389
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 4: the Fourth Amendment, how that's how our constitution works. You

390
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 4: can't just say, oh, because we got that phone number

391
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 4: in a legal fashion, we're not going to use that

392
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 4: identifier of a US person to search this big database. Now,

393
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 4: go get a warrant before you query that database.

394
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 6: Search that database.

395
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 4: We think that's fundamental and that's the key difference right now,

396
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 4: the key hang up. But we're insisting on that fundamental

397
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 4: change to the program as well as others.

398
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: But that's the fundamental change. Surely every Republican in the

399
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: House is with you on that. I understand that there

400
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: are different different levels in the House, but surely they're

401
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: all at least an agreement on that.

402
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 3: Right.

403
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 6: No, you would think, but they're not that.

404
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 4: We got people who do not want that, do not

405
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 4: want that warrant requirement.

406
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: We have.

407
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 6: We have two key provisions. We have that one.

408
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 4: The second one is if the government's going to purchase data,

409
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 4: purchase your data, and it would otherwise require a warrant

410
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 4: to get that data, we don't think they should be

411
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 4: purchasing it. Again, this is the Fourth Amendment's not for sales,

412
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 4: the title that piece of legislation that we put in

413
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 4: the bill. We think those two things are sort of

414
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 4: fundamental to how we operate. Is one of my colleagues

415
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 4: said yesterday, and he said, you know, because everyone talks

416
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 4: about security, of course we want to be safe, and

417
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 4: we're all in favor of spying on foreigners. We just

418
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,239
Speaker 4: don't want to look at that American stuff. What are

419
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 4: probable cause warrant But one of our colleagues said, yeah,

420
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 4: we'd all be more secure if we kept to the

421
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 4: soldier in everyone's house. But we don't do that because

422
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 4: it's America and we have a constitution and that's why

423
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 4: we started this place, you know, way back when.

424
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what makes the Land of the Free free. Congressman,

425
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: thank you so much. I appreciate it very much. All right,

426
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: inflation sucks. What do these numbers mean though today? And

427
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: is it going to get better? Let's talk to Carrie

428
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: Sheffield about that in just a moment. Before we talk

429
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: to Carrie, let's do this. Let's talk about rescuing dogs. No, no,

430
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not telling you to go grab a dog.

431
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, you can if you want, But I'm

432
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: just asking you to support an organization that does rescue them.

433
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: Delta Rescue. They not only rescue them. It's not just

434
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: that they bring the dog in. They will care for

435
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: that dog for the rest of its life and they

436
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: will never put the dog down. Delta Rescue is the

437
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: world's largest no kill, care for life animal shelter. Isn't

438
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: that wonderful? Isn't that special? What a wonderful place. They

439
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: only do what they do with your support.

440
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 3: I can't believe we live in a.

441
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: Country where people abandon their dogs, but this is something

442
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: people do. They'll leave their apartment and just leave the

443
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: dog behind, and that's sick. Delta Rescue dot Org is how.

444
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 2: You support them.

445
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: Where you go to support them, Go support them Delta

446
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: Rescue dot org.

447
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 2: We'll be back Okay, let's talk inflation.

448
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 3: Now.

449
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: This is one of those things where I don't need

450
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: to tell you there's inflation. Everyone who's bought eggs knows

451
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: there's inflation. Everyone who's gone out to dinner knows there's inflation.

452
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 2: It sucks.

453
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: What are the actual numbers? Three point one year over

454
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: year now three point one percent for those keeping track

455
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty. If you add it all up, essentially

456
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: you're seventeen percent poorer. The inflation in your life is

457
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: seventeen percent higher than it was just three years ago.

458
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: We all have a lower standard of living today than

459
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: we did three years ago.

460
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 2: And that kind of sucks, does it not? So? When

461
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 2: does this end? Is it going to end? Is it

462
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 2: going to get worse?

463
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: Let's ask an expert about it, joining me now, Carrie Sheffield,

464
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: senior policy analysts for the Independent Women's Forum, also author

465
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: of the book Motor Home Prophecies. Okay, Carrie, inflation's bad.

466
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: That's not exactly breaking news to anyone who buys things.

467
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: But why is it so bad?

468
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 10: Well? A big answer is government spending.

469
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 12: So, as we know, government spending crowds out productive spending,

470
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 12: and if you look at the cumulative hiring among all

471
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 12: the sectors. So if you're talking about manufacturing healthcare things

472
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 12: where we actually are making things, are producing real products

473
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 12: and real services in the private economy, every single job

474
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 12: creating sector is overshadowed by government hiring.

475
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 10: That means government is the number one employer here this year.

476
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 12: And that is a bad thing because not only is

477
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 12: it fake numbers and fake jobs. I call it like

478
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 12: a a popcoman village, you know, it's a fake Russian

479
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 12: village used to as a facade.

480
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 10: Because now Joe Biden's crowing about all these.

481
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 12: Great employment numbers, Well that's actually fake because it's not

482
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 12: real jobs. These are jobs that are being used and

483
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 12: paid for by taxpayers, and they're not being even paid

484
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 12: off today. They're going to be paid on the backs

485
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 12: of our children and our children's children.

486
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: Tell me about these fake jobs, Carrie, This is news

487
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: to a lot of Americans.

488
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: It certainly reminds.

489
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: Me of the old FDR New Deal days, where we

490
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: were essentially paying people to shovel out a ditch and

491
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: then paying them to shovel it back in.

492
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: Is that what we're doing now.

493
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 10: Well, it is. It's been now in the form of

494
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 10: the Green New deal. So it's very interesting that you

495
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 10: picked up on it. That's exactly what it is.

496
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 12: It's the two point zero version of it, and that

497
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 12: was a major component of the bill that was signed

498
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 12: into law by Joe Biden and rammed through by the

499
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 12: Democrats with Joe Manton's help. I think it's no surprise

500
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 12: that Joe Mansen is retiring because people are.

501
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 10: Furious that he caved, and he also didn't even get

502
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 10: what he wanted in return.

503
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 12: He was promised things by the Democrats in order for

504
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 12: him to sign on to that. Well, guess what they

505
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 12: didn't deliver, And so he's resigning in shame or he's

506
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 12: not going to run for reelection because people are really

507
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 12: upset about this. So the fact that these a lot

508
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 12: of these government jobs are quote unquote green jobs or

509
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 12: trying to again, it's another inflated area where the government's

510
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 12: trying to force demand in a sector that just isn't ready.

511
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,959
Speaker 10: It's not developed. And look, we're all supportive.

512
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 12: Of innovation at independent Women's format. We want to have

513
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 12: clean air. But the breather matter is that the United

514
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 12: States is actually reducing its obmissions. The problem here is China,

515
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 12: and so all of these Europeans getting together for their

516
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 12: climate summit right now, and developed countries, there's the elephant

517
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 12: not in the room.

518
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 10: It's China is never going to actually.

519
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 12: Do something that it doesn't want to do, and so

520
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 12: we are meanwhile committing economic suicide through all these Green

521
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 12: New Deal projects and hiring. And I want to point

522
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 12: out another metric that might be useful for you guys

523
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 12: to understand out inflation. So you put up that number

524
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 12: about the inflation three point one four. Well, a number

525
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 12: that's actually more accurate is called the median CPI, the

526
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 12: median consumer price index that is actually five point two four,

527
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 12: much higher than the three point one four. And why

528
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 12: the meeting CPI is so significant is that it basically

529
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 12: it's the meeting, it's.

530
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 10: The fiftieth percentile. It's sort of that market basket of

531
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 10: goods that is more normal. It throws out the more

532
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 10: extremes low or high, and puts it to be the

533
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 10: more typical use or a basket of goods that people consume.

534
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 10: And so that is much higher. It's five point two

535
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 10: four percent.

536
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 12: That is a big part of why the inflation is

537
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 12: higher than it seems nominally, which again Joe Biden is

538
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 12: trying to crow about the nominal CPI, but the median

539
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 12: CPI tells a much different story.

540
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: Well, in the face of all this inflation, at least

541
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: they've stopped printing unbacked currency by the trillion, haven't they carry.

542
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 12: Well, there's still a lot on the books and they

543
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 12: are in the has said that they know they want

544
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 12: they want to tamper, they don't want, and they also

545
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 12: don't want to raise the rates anymore.

546
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 10: That's the goal.

547
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 12: But it's so high to the point where you talked

548
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 12: about people being less poor than they were three years ago,

549
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 12: You're spot on. And the Committee to Unleashed Prosperity had

550
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 12: a great report about this from ej Antoni. He reported

551
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 12: that the value of your average four oh one K

552
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 12: plan has fell by sixteen thousand dollars, and then once

553
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 12: you layer on the lostation that it's a combined loss

554
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 12: of thirty three thousand dollars or twenty five percent.

555
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 10: So this hits retirees who are living on fixed income

556
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 10: the most. And so that's where I hope that people

557
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 10: will look at what's happening and say, I'm going to

558
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 10: vote for change. I'm going to vote for something different.

559
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 10: At a policy level.

560
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, what changed, though, Carrie? This, this is what

561
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: chaps me about this thing. What change Republicans spend trillion

562
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: after trillion, after trillion after trillion, and then as soon

563
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: as they lose, the Democrats spend two trillion after two trillion,

564
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: and then Republicans act like they're the party see or

565
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: the party of fiscal responsibility when they're they spend like

566
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: drunk and saying there's all of them. Do all those

567
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: trillion dollar bills were signed by Trump before Biden got in.

568
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 10: That's a very good point.

569
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 12: And in fact, I asked that same question I was

570
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 12: in twenty twenty. I was a reporter for John Solomon

571
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 12: at the White House for Just the News, and I

572
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 12: asked the Trump White House over and over, why are

573
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 12: you guys pushing through these trillion dollar packages?

574
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 10: Why? Why does it have to be this much right now?

575
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,719
Speaker 12: And I do believe unfortunately they were getting bad advice

576
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 12: from people like Anthony Fauci to have this massive overreaction

577
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 12: to COVID to shut everything down. And so when you

578
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 12: have a massive overreaction that you know, they say in physics,

579
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 12: there's a counteraction. And so in order to counterbalance the

580
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 12: massive government overreach, they had this massive stimulus program to

581
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 12: avoid going into a deep recession, and so it really

582
00:28:55,520 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 12: was unfortunately a miscalculation and a reactionary process because things

583
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 12: were going really great. Actually, as we all know before COVID,

584
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 12: economically speaking, you had the lowest unemployment for black Latino

585
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 12: Asian women. You have the highest median household income growth

586
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 12: for people in the lower end.

587
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 10: Of the economic ladder.

588
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 12: So you had some really strong metrics, especially for people

589
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 12: who had been historically suffering.

590
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 10: And then COVID hit and we had this massive overreach

591
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 10: of government.

592
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 12: And that's really I think the most important takeaway as

593
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 12: far as like looking forward to say, right now, at

594
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 12: this point, our debt to GDP levels are the highest

595
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 12: they've been since World War Two. So we have been

596
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 12: behaving as if we are in a wartime zone and

597
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 12: there's no end in sight because they keep passing through

598
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 12: these trillion dollars spending bills. We can't keep behaving like

599
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 12: we're in a war zone for the rest of our lives. Otherwise,

600
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 12: like your body's limpics system, if you're constantly in this

601
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 12: fight or flight mode, you're eventually going to topple over.

602
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 10: And that's where we're heading.

603
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Jedi, yeah, and says there's going to be

604
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: uh soft.

605
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: Landing anyway, here's Janet Yellen.

606
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 7: So do you You've said you see a soft landing

607
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 7: as the most likely outcome for the economy.

608
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 3: Is that?

609
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 2: Do I have that right?

610
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 11: Yes, in the sense that.

611
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 7: To me is soft landing as the economy continues to grow,

612
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 7: the labor market remains strong, and inflation comes down.

613
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 6: And I believe that's the path we're on.

614
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: Because.

615
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: She really scares me, because I don't know if I

616
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: don't know if there's anybody who's wrong more often than

617
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: Janet Yellen.

618
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, Jessie, it's true. I mean she and the whole.

619
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 12: Team also at the Fed have been asleep at the

620
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 12: wheel this whole time.

621
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 10: It's all been reactionary. Uh.

622
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 12: You know, they were asleep at the wheel at the

623
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 12: Fed when it came to the interest rates and just

624
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 12: not realizing the fiscal effects and what it would do

625
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 12: to the you know, the interplay between fiscal and monetary.

626
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 10: The Fed just was asleep at the wheel.

627
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 12: And then the fact that Janet Yellen just wants to

628
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 12: keep spending, spending, spending, I've never heard her actually cry

629
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 12: out to say this is actually really bad for the

630
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 12: fiscal health of our country, and as Treasurer Secretary, that's

631
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 12: part of her responsibility to keep us.

632
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 10: On good tracks here. So yeah, I agree.

633
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 12: When she says something, I'm gonna seize up and think

634
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 12: the opposite that being said. She kind of has to

635
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 12: say that because if the alternative is if she says, well,

636
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 12: I predict things are going to be cataclysmic, then the

637
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 12: markets would respond accordingly. I just think I'd like to

638
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 12: see something that's more realistic instead of, you know, speaking

639
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 12: so far in one or other directions.

640
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 10: But the fact that we have.

641
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 12: Such high inflation that's continuing again the meeting, inflation is

642
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 12: more than five percent.

643
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 10: That's not normal.

644
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 12: The FED has its target of two percent, which never

645
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 12: made sense to me at all. Why have any inflation

646
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 12: target at all? Inflation is just inherently destructive in terms

647
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 12: of eroding the buying power of people, eroding the power

648
00:31:55,560 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 12: of retirees. So I think that the.

649
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 10: The expert Janet Yellen.

650
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 12: One thing that she was known for when she was

651
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 12: the FED chair woman was that she was constantly going

652
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 12: outside of her lane. You know, the dual mandate of

653
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 12: the FED is just to maintain the interest rates and

654
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 12: also work on unemployment.

655
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 10: And she said, I'm going to be.

656
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 12: Really focused as the Federal Reserve chair on inequality.

657
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 10: That's not her job. That was not her job. And

658
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 10: that's really that started under Obama. That's really when it started.

659
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: Kerrie, thank you so much. That's a lot, you know,

660
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: speaking of inflation and food inflation. Chef Andrew Gorules gonna

661
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: join us.

662
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 2: You want to know.

663
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: Why it costs an eye popping them out to go

Speaker 1: Then we'll talk about some recipes, stuff and other things.

666
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: Before we get to that, let's talk about this. It

667
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: is the Christmas season. What if you could give somebody

668
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: a gift that would give them more energy in the

669
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: afternoons when they hit that wall.

670
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 2: Ah, that's tined. I need another ten cups of coffee.

671
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: You hit that wall. There's someone in your life hit

672
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: that wall. Give the gift of a stack from chalk,

Speaker 1: male vitality stack or a female vitality stack. Give it

674
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: ninety days natural herbal supplements. No more energy drinks, No

675
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: more afternoon coffee unless you want one.

676
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: I love coffee.

677
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: You won't need it though, because you'll feel so good

678
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: so much focus, your mind works better. I freaking love chalk,

679

00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: We'll be back.

684
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: Food inflation, this is not something I need to tell

685
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: you about. I don't need to bring up well, just

686
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: see the latest in the Wall Street Journal. I don't

687
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: have to tell anybody about food inflation because you feel it.

688
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 2: You know it. You feel it when you go out

689
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: to eat.

690
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: I went out to eat, got two tacos, chips and

691
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: keso last night, and a.

692
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: Coke and it was twenty six dollars.

693
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: You feel it when you buy eggs, when you buy meat.

694
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: Why is this happening? Let's talk to the good chef

695
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: about that. Joining me now, Chef Andrew Gruhle not only

696
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: owner of the Calico Fish House, he now has a

697
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: substack with all his amazing recipes. If your mouth has

698
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: been watering, go to American Gravy on substack. Okay, chef,

699
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: let's begin with the ugly. Why does it cost me?

700
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: Twenty six dollars for two tacos, chips and KSO and

701
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: a coke.

702
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, it's not just the price of goods, right, everybody,

703
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 13: they water down these numbers like, well, well, you know,

704
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 13: inflation has gone down about point three percent, et cetera.

705
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 13: That's a relevant It's the cost of doing business in

706
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 13: many of these states. It's the cast of the supply

707
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 13: chain mistakes. It's the cost of COVID that's still going

708
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 13: to bludgeon us day in and day out, probably for

709
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 13: the next decade. So you're adding on all of these

710
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 13: other costs that are somewhat unrelated to inflation, many of

711
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 13: which are related to inflation, and it's driving the food

712
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 13: prices up at a rate I've never seen before ever.

713
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 13: I mean, it's pretty outrageous.

714
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: Chef, you mentioned supply chain problems. For those of us

715
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: who aren't in your industry, and we don't understand these

716
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: complicated things.

717
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 2: What are you talking about? What supply chains? What problems?

718
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 13: Well, do you remember when Pete buddhajeedge our amazing director

719
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 13: of something, was going to control the fact that we

720
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 13: couldn't get goods from all over the world. There were

721
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 13: ships lined up at the ports that you could see

722
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 13: all the way from the US to China, it felt like,

723
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 13: and there were no goods on the shelves. But don't worry,

724
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 13: he had a solution. Those problems still exist. The media

725
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 13: obviously has gotten bared covering it, and they don't want

726
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 13: to it because it reflects poorly on the Biden administration.

727
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 13: But there are still ships piled up out there, maybe

728
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 13: not at the rate that they were, but we're still

729
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 13: trying to catch up in regards to supply chain. So

730
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 13: when I can't get the goods into my restaurant straws,

731
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 13: paper plates, cups, half of this stuff is produced in

732
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 13: China anyways, there's no market for in the United States. Well,

733
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 13: then the little product that's left we all have to

734
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,919
Speaker 13: fight over, which is why the prices get jacked up. Right,

735
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 13: high demand, low supply, high prices. That's happening in every

736
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 13: single sector of the goods that we purchase in the

737
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 13: restaurant industry.

738
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: Jeff, let's switch from the food for a minute and

739
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: get to the help. Because I hear this all the

740
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 1: time from my friends now, and I try.

741
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 2: To calm them down a little bit.

742
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: I always complain about the help now either they're restaurant

743
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: owners or business owners and they say I can't find

744
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: good help, or they're just patrons. I went to this restaurant,

745
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: it's one of my favorites, and the waiter was an idiot.

746
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: The waiter was rude, and I tried to explain, these

747
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: restaurants cannot find people.

748
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 2: Businesses cannot find people.

749
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: So you've got to take whatever turd actually shows up

750
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,959
Speaker 1: to work. So, yes, the help's worse.

751
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 13: Something significant changed over COVID when we went through this

752
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 13: cultural and social revolution where workers were out on the streets,

753
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 13: you know, picketing and demanding X, Y and z from

754
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 13: the government, not from the businesses. And what it did

755
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 13: was it encouraged a lot of the workers that otherwise

756
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 13: would be looking for part time jobs or transition jobs

757
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 13: not to enter the workforce because they knew that they

758
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 13: would either a get benefits from the government, b that

759
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 13: they could just kind of sit by and you know,

760
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 13: wait for the next emergency situation to bail them out,

761
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 13: or d They wanted to stay at home, live with

762
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 13: mom and dad and not work. So, especially in the

763
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 13: restaurant and retail industry where you're looking for unskilled labor,

764
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 13: effectively for a lot of these kind of cashier positions,

765
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 13: it's very difficult to find the help. Now add to

766
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 13: that in places like California, where they've put these crazy

767
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 13: legal you know, threats over all the businesses. If you

768
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 13: want to look up PAGA, the Public Attorney's General Act,

769
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 13: where basically any employee can act as the attorney general

770
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 13: and sue a business for a frivolous violation that are

771
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 13: now costing businesses millions of dollars. Google got sued through

772
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 13: a pag of lawsuit because they underpaid an employer didn't

773
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 13: give them a meal break. A million and a half

774
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 13: dollars settlement. The employees got ninety cents each, the trial

775
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 13: attorney's got six hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and the

776
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 13: state gets the rest of the money.

777
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 2: Oh what a frigging racket, the chef.

778
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 1: I know it sounds weird, but people don't understand insurance either.

779
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: What causes insurance costs to go up?

780
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 2: And they don't.

781
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: Understand that they're paying for that insurance cost going up

782
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: every time they have to pay fifteen dollars for a cheeseburger.

783
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 13: Now, yeah, well, I mean we all pay for the

784
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 13: insurance cost I mean, that's what it comes down to,

785
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 13: because when I try and get a policy that's accredited, right,

786
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 13: mind you, there's policies that are accredited, in politicies that

787
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 13: aren't accredited, and those that we need to buy that

788
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 13: are credited. Especially in California, the rates have gone up

789
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 13: so significantly that insurance for me used to be like

790
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 13: a one percent line item. I mean it's up there

791
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 13: four or five percent. So where are those How am

792
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 13: I going to cover those costs?

793
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: Well?

794
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 13: I got to increase my price. Is all of these

795
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 13: things come through, They trickle down to the consumer and

796
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 13: the end user's price.

797
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: Tell me about this Calico fish house. I haven't had

798
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: the chance yet to walk in there, Chef. All I

799
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: get to do is drool over your pictures like you

800
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: like that you put up online like the rest of everybody.

801
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a it's a seafood chop house. So we

802
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 13: get all of our fish local from local fishermen. And

803
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 13: then we got the best in meats, right, So we're

804
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 13: getting direct from the farm meats, changing the menu pretty

805
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 13: much every single week, best burgers. You know, we're grinding

806
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 13: to meet ourselves. We've got our own special grind. But

807
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 13: nothing frilly, right, nothing fancy. I mean, we're giving people

808
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 13: food at the right price. And the way in which, look,

809
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 13: I'll be honest with you, the way in which I'm

810
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 13: able to keep my prices lower is by working in

811
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 13: there twenty four hours a day myself to keep the

812
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 13: labor costs down, and force my kids to work in

813
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 13: the restaurant too, which is free labor. And that's how

814
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 13: I can keep my prices reasonable.

815
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I still have a chef, obviously. I joke about

816
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: having the world's best cheeseburger. I dream about having money yours,

817
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: which I've never had yet. They just look like the

818
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: best thing in the world. How do you make a

819
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 1: good burger? For those of us who can't grind our.

820
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 2: Own burger or aren't going to do that.

821
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: Okay, we're not the chef gruel, but I want to

822
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: make a great burger at home.

823
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 2: Give me some burger tips.

824
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 13: Well, one of the things people do at home is

825
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 13: that when they cook the burger and the meat kind

826
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 13: of shrinks, they get that bubble in the top, right,

827
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 13: so you have that round burger as opposed to a

828
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 13: nice hockey puck burger. So what you want to do,

829
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 13: because what's happening is the connective tissues pulling together as

830
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 13: it cooks. You want to put a divot in the

831
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 13: center of your burger first. It's almost going to look

832
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 13: like a hockey puck with a hole in the center.

833
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 13: Push that through so that when it does cook, it

834
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 13: actually comes to a level point, so that you can

835
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 13: top your burger appropriately. I call it the architecture of

836
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 13: a burger. And then you just don't have this kind

837
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 13: of conical volcano.

838
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: Burger that falls apart.

839
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: Are you a toasted bun guy or not? Is that

840
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 1: sacrilege for you?

841
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 13: You got to toast your buns. And I'll tell you why.

842
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 13: You toast it with mayo or butter, because when the

843
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 13: juices from the burger run through, they repel against the

844
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 13: fat because the juices are water. They repel against the

845
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 13: fat as opposed to soaking into the bun and soaking

846
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 13: your bunn.

847
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: What's coke butter on your substack? You have something a

848
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 1: coke butter? What's wrong with you?

849
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 3: All right?

850
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 13: So besides the fact that I love coke, I'm joking

851
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 13: that's gonna cancel me. The I meant to say cold butter,

852
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 13: and everybody was asking me what coke butter was so

853
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,959
Speaker 13: I said, you know what, I'm gonna create a coke butter.

854
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 13: I reduced a can of coca cola with fresh aromatics,

855
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 13: and then I folded it into butter and some hot

856
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 13: sauce and I smell and I slathered that onto grilled

857
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 13: pork chops, and thus coke butter was born.

858
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: Oh that sounds fantastic. Go figure out how to make

859
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: some coke butter. Thank you, chef. I appreciate you very much.

860
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: Their gosh, I'm freaking hungry now. Should have known that

861
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: was coming when we had chef on. All right, we

862
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: have light in the mood.

863
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 2: Next. I like animals.

864
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't think I go so far as to call

865
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: myself an animal lover, but I genuinely I like animals.

866
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: When I see a deer crossing the street, I think, Wow,

867
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 1: that's really cool. That's a deer. Ah, that's a bear.

868
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: Oh look an ego. I really like animals, And that

869
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: said I because I've spent my time in Montana hunting

870
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: and fishing.

871
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 2: That's how I grew up with my dad.

872
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: I understand that animals can be very dangerous.

873
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 2: I don't care. Look, especially you ladies.

874
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: I know the Disney movies make them out to be

875
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: very cute and as soon as you turn around, they

876
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 1: talk and they sing and they do a dance routine.

877
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: But in reality, they're just very, very stupid, wild animals

878
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: who will defend themselves violently as the drop of a hat.

879
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: They're animals. And so when I saw this video of

880
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: this dude in the Florida Everglades, uh, well, you know

881
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: what as a light in the mood here he is.

882
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 14: Hey guys, I'm in the Florida Everglades and I'm using

883
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 14: my feet to attract this swamp puppy. Mister Crocodile's coming

884
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 14: in hot I think he's about to yoink me, but

885
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 14: he's just curious and he's saying hi to me. Yellow

886
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 14: rat snake, yoink. I ended up getting yoinked by this sweetheart.

887
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 14: He got me on the leg, but it doesn't hurt. Ooh, chameleon, yoink.

888
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 14: This is a little male veiled chameleon and he'll make

889
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 14: a fantastic pet. Ooh, yoink, we got a tokey gecko. Ooh,

890
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 14: we got another one, yoink. Look at this juicy handful

891
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 14: of tokey geckos. It's not easy looking for a twenty

892
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 14: foot burme spot on, especially when you don't stage your videos. Ooh,

893
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 14: that's a big green water snake, yoink, she's dead, only

894
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 14: not too happy with me. How can you not love

895
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 14: a face like that? Though, tropical orb weaver poop. Look

896
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 14: at that juicy cotton mouth. You gotta watch your step

897
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 14: out here. Ooh, this python doesn't know what's coming for him.

898
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 14: Finally we got one, yoink.

899
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 2: There's something wrong with some people. I'll see them all
