1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: The Joe Biden autopen investigation continues to heat up. The 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: headlines describe exactly what the game plan is of those 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: that were around Joe Biden and just how massive the 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: cover up actually is. Whether it's the AP saying quote 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: Joe Biden aid invokes fifth to decline testimony and investigation, 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: or the Guardian Republican leading inquiry into Biden's autopen use 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: has digitally signed letters, or even the Daily Beast James 8 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: Comber announces new investigation into Biden over the use of 9 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: the autopen. Well, we now have new information as James 10 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: Comer sat down with Fox News Sunday, and here is 11 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: part of what he had to say about it. The 12 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: assessment that Biden staffords are deliberately refusing to answer questions 13 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: about the autopen use and providing extraordinary levels of obfuscation. 14 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: Now James Comer seems to be really hammering in on 15 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: the facts and continuing to press the investorstigation into whether 16 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: Biden used an autopen to sign documents like pardons, raising 17 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: major concerns about who may have truly been in charge 18 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: during the final days, weeks, or months of the Joe 19 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: Biden presidency. Now in May of this year, Comer initiated 20 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: a fresh probe. He issued letters to key aids, including 21 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: many of those close to President in non political roles 22 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: for example, like Biden's physician, doctor Kevin O'Connor, and warning 23 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: of subpoenas if they don't cooperate. Fast forward to June 24 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: of this year, testimony from several raised major red flags, 25 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: some admitting limited direct interaction with Biden and no insight 26 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: into the autopen approval process, suggesting a total lack of 27 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: transparency or oversight. And then the Fifth Amendment invocations continued. 28 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: On July the sixteenth, a former aid to First Lady 29 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: Joe Biden invoked the Fifth the Mania during his Oversight 30 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: Committee appearance, becoming the second such individual in the probe 31 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: to do so. Comber responded by stating that the public 32 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: is concerned about unaccountable decision making within the White House. 33 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: In other words, who was actually in charge. The bottom 34 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: line is clear representative. Comer asserts he now has unprecedented 35 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: evidence of a cover up involving the autopen use and 36 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: Biden's cognitive decline. Now, this is what he had to 37 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: say on Fox Sunday Morning. 38 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: Take a listen. 39 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: This week, the House Oversight Committee is set to continue 40 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: its investigation into Joe Biden's mental fitness during his presidency 41 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 3: when former White House Deputy Assistant Andrew Bates sits down 42 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 3: for an interview on Friday. Former White House Press Secretary 43 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: Kareeine Jean Pierre, and former White House Chief of Staff 44 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 3: Jeff Zience are also slated to peer before the committee 45 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: in coming weeks. Joining me now with more on his 46 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 3: investigation into former President Biden and in the chairman is 47 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 3: the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman James Comer. 48 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 3: It's great to have you with us this morning. 49 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: Welcome. 50 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 3: I want to get the latest on the investigation, Congressman, 51 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 3: but also what we've heard so far, key figures, taking 52 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 3: the fifth key figures that day after day said that 53 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 3: Biden was totally fit and ready to do the job. 54 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 3: Now saying they really didn't spend that much time with him. 55 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 3: The testimony doesn't add up with what we saw. 56 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: Something is awry here, something's definitely awry. 57 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 4: Look when you have Ian SAMs, who was the face 58 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 4: of the White House response to the very damaging report 59 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 4: that said that Joe Biden was a forgetful old man. 60 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 4: He was the face of the White House response to 61 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 4: our investigation Byron Donalds and myself as well as all 62 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 4: the members of the House Oversy Committee, when we found 63 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 4: that China had in fact wired money to LLC's owned 64 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 4: by Biden family members. He was the one that would 65 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 4: always respond and say he talked to Joe Biden, Joe 66 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 4: Biden was vibrant, Joe Biden did not do this, The 67 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 4: families sayesn't, and then come to find out when we 68 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 4: put him under oath, he admits, well, I only saw 69 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 4: Joe Biden two times over a two year period. That's unprecedented. 70 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 4: We're trying to get to the bottom of who was 71 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 4: operating the autopen and and we've brought in a dozen 72 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 4: people so far, and they're all pointing the fingers at 73 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 4: other people, the ones that I think may have a 74 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 4: little more knowledge. They pled the Fifth to avoid self incrimination. 75 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 4: So I think what you're gonna see iss unless John 76 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 4: Pierre and some of these others come in and, you know, 77 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 4: tell us more. It's becoming very apparent that Joe Biden 78 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 4: really wasn't the one in command at the end of 79 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 4: his presidency. And that's important because you're talking about thousands 80 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 4: of pardons and dozens of executive orders that were signed 81 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 4: with that autopen, and it appears without President Biden's knowledge. 82 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 3: Absolutely, I want to move to this ten FBI whistleblowers. 83 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 3: They they warned of political weaponization, and they also say 84 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 3: that they faced retaliation from the Biden administration. We've been 85 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: talking about this weaponization as a theme. It touches so 86 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 3: many different aspects of what we've discussed just this morning alone. 87 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: But it also shows you that it's not just the 88 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 3: president who has faced this. It flows into all different 89 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 3: levels and to everyday people that are just trying to 90 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 3: serve and do their duties. 91 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 92 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 4: Well, look, the government is comprised of an overwhelming number 93 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 4: of liberals, an overwhelming number of activists. During the Obama 94 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 4: and Biden years, the government number swelled of liberal activists 95 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 4: that came in. Whether they worked for the EPA or 96 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 4: whether they worked for the Department of Justice or the FBI, 97 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 4: they had an agenda. They weren't necessarily public servants. The 98 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 4: ones that rose to the top were activists, and these 99 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 4: activists tried to weaponize the federal government in various forms, 100 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 4: whether to enact policy or whether to ruin the lives 101 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 4: of people or influence elections as we've seen. So now 102 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 4: we have people in place like Tulca Gabbert and John 103 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 4: Ratcliffe and Cash Betail who are exposing this. Congress has 104 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 4: exposed this, the House Oversught Committee is exposed to the 105 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 4: Judiciary Committee under Jim Jordan's exposed it. Now we need accountability, 106 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 4: and I'm hopeful that Pam Bondy will take this evidence 107 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 4: and her Department of Justice will start holding people accountable. 108 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 4: And we're seeing President Trump be more active on truth 109 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 4: social encouraging his own Department of Justice to hold people 110 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 4: accountable for wrongdoing. And I think it's going to happen. 111 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: And I think it's going to happen very clearly. James 112 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: Comer sharing unprecedented details surrounding the by not open investigation 113 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: and also what the White House is doing to hold 114 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: people accountable as well. This is exactly what so many 115 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: Americans voted for and why I think there's many in 116 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: Washington right now, in the Deep State that are very 117 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: concerned about what's happening now. By the way, Comber wasn't 118 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: done there. He also was asked this question listen carefully. 119 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 3: And the weapon is is really interesting because in some 120 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 3: ways it serves as a distraction. Look over here, so 121 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 3: you're not really focusing on what was over here. Many 122 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 3: Americans want to know what went on with Special Counsel 123 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 3: Jack Smith going after the president. They want to know 124 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 3: about Jim Comey and John Brennan and Russiagate and where 125 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 3: the accountability is in those instances. 126 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 4: I completely agree, as I travel Kentucky as well as 127 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 4: all across America. That's the biggest question I get from people. 128 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 4: When are people going to be held accountable for this wrongdoing? 129 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 4: The evidence that the investigations are complete, more and more 130 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 4: evidence is surfacing. 131 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 5: One of the limiting. 132 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 4: Factors we had, whether it was Jim Jordan's Weaponization Subcommittee 133 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 4: or my House Oversight Committee, was the fact that the 134 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 4: Bideny administration wouldn't turn over documents. Now we've got Trump 135 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 4: administration officials lack Cash, Mattel and like John Ratcliffe and 136 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 4: Tulsea Gabbart who are making public these documents. So I 137 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 4: think the case now for the Department of Justice, Trump's 138 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,679 Speaker 4: Department of Justice, Pam Body's Department Justice is now there 139 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 4: to hold these people account. When I think you're seeing 140 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 4: more hints from President Trump that the day of accountability 141 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 4: is near, and hopefully this is going to set an 142 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 4: example for future people in the government never to let 143 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 4: this deep state rise again and to try to weaponize 144 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 4: the government to punish your enemies or to enact liberal 145 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 4: legislative agendas like the Green New Deal. 146 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 3: On Tuesday, Sir, House members are going to meet with 147 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 3: Epstein victims. How is that going to play into how 148 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 3: the Department of Justice is handling this As Americans have 149 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 3: said they want to see the files and I want. 150 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 2: To command the Department Justice. 151 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 4: Pam Bondis has started turning over those documents to the 152 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 4: House Oversite Committee is subpoena those documents. The Trump administration 153 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 4: is cooperating with us. We're bringing in the families and 154 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 4: the attorneys of the victims Tuesday afternoon to talk to 155 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 4: the House oversighte Committee. This will be Republicans and Democrats 156 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 4: because we're going to make this information public. That's what 157 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 4: the American people want. When we travel around all of 158 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 4: our districts. That's one of the things that people ask, 159 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 4: when are we going to see the Epstein files. But 160 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 4: it's very complicated because there are victims of the Epstein 161 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 4: files and we want to listen to those victims and 162 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 4: their families and their attorneys to see how best can 163 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 4: we present this information. Do they want their names redacted? 164 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 4: Do they not want their names redacted? And that's so 165 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 4: that's one of the things that President Trump's talked about, 166 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 4: like this is a lot more complicated than then. A 167 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 4: lot of people want to realize there are victims that 168 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 4: are involved here, and we want to protect their their 169 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 4: futures and their reputations and their families. So we're going 170 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 4: to have a good conversation to see how best then 171 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 4: to turn around and present this information to the American 172 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 4: people and hopefully put this issue to rest so Congress 173 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 4: can focus on passing the spending bill and working with 174 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 4: President Trump to reduce crime in our big cities. 175 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: Translation, it is a very big week in Washington, d C. 176 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: And James Comer helping lead the way on the House side. 177 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: Many Democrats on the Senate side are worried about the 178 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: Republicans there, and the media is obviously terrified what's happening 179 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: at the White House, at the DOJ and the FBI. 180 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about my friends over 181 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: at Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of choices for 182 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: cell phone service with new ones popping up all the time. 183 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: But if you want to make a difference and you 184 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: want to stop giving your money to liberal companies, well, 185 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: one way you can do that is by getting rid 186 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: of Liberal Mobile you probably have right now. That is 187 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now coming together 188 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've 189 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: been in service now for thirteen years, and right now 190 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: is the best time ever to switch, because it's never 191 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: been easier. Now, before I tell you about that, I 192 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: want you to know why switching is so important. Because 193 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: every time you make a call, every time you send 194 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: a text, and every time that you pay your bill, 195 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: you're actually standing up for the values you believe in. 196 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: Your first and your safe to mimic rights, the rights 197 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: of unborn children, and you stand with our military, our veterans, 198 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: our wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot 199 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: Mobile takes about five percent of your bill every month 200 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: at no extra cost to you, and they give it 201 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now, 202 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You 203 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: can keep your same number, keep your same phone, or 204 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: upgrade Patriot Mobile's got a one hundred percent US based 205 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: customer service team and literally they can now with technology 206 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: get you activated in minutes from the comfort of your 207 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: home or your office.

If you're a Democrat, what 220 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: is the easiest way to make crime go down? 221 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 2: Well, apparently it's not actually fighting crime. 222 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: You just change and alter the stats to make it 223 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: look like a city is getting safer. We now know 224 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: that the Congressional Oversight probe is official, and the House 225 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 1: Oversight Committee, led by Representative James Comer, has launched an 226 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: investigation into what they described as quote disturbing allegations that 227 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: the DC Metropolitan Police Department intentionally manipulated crime data to 228 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: paint a rosier picture of public safety than what the 229 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: reality was on the ground. 230 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 2: Another way of putting. 231 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: It is they would change and alter the way they 232 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: would report on serious crimes to make you feel like 233 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: it's safer of a city than it really was. How 234 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: do we know this? A whistleblower reportedly told the committee 235 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: that crime statistics were manipulated on a widespread basis and 236 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: that the direction of supervisory officials potentially affecting all seven 237 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: patrol districts in the District of Columbia. The Justice Department 238 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: has a criminal inquiry now, and the US Attorney's Office 239 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: for the District of Columbia, under US Attorney Jeanine Pirino 240 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: you know her as Judge Janin from Fox News Channel, 241 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: has initiated a criminal investigation into whether the DC police 242 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: officials systematically quote altered crime reports to artificially suppress violent 243 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: crime rates. This probe was triggered by the suspension in 244 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: May of the command who led the third District in 245 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: DC and is accused of downgrading serious instances such as 246 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: stabbings and carjackings to make the crime stats look better, 247 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: Which brings us to James Comer. He went on Fox 248 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: News Channel and a linked the interview explaining exactly what's 249 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: going on. I want you to hear what he had 250 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: to say. Take a listen to this. 251 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 6: Furthering President Trump's efforts to crack down on crime in 252 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 6: our nation's capital. According to a report, House Republicans already 253 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 6: with a slew of DC crime bills. The House Oversight 254 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 6: Committee is also launching an investigation into possible crime data manipulation. 255 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 6: Here now with more House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comber 256 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 6: chairman said, thanks so much for joining us. Most people 257 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 6: don't realize, but the chairman of the Oversea Committee has 258 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 6: jurisdiction on the White House. They also have jurisdiction on Washington, 259 00:14:54,280 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 6: d C. So this idea that these crime data had 260 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 6: potentially been manipulated, what have you seen? Where is this going? 261 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 6: What are you looking for? 262 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, for those of us who have 263 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 4: lived in Washington, d C. Over the past several years, 264 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 4: especially the past twelve months, we don't see any reduction 265 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 4: in crime. But yet that's been the talking point for 266 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 4: the liberal media, for the Democrats in Washington because they 267 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 4: knew that President Trump campaigned and said he would do 268 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 4: whatever it takes to get the crime crisis under control. 269 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 5: In Washington, d C. 270 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 4: So lo and behold the Washington d C. Statisticians come 271 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 4: out and say, oh, crime's down fifty percent, carjackings are 272 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 4: down fifty percent, when we see on the news every 273 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 4: day multiple carjackings, homicides every day. The employees in our 274 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 4: congression officers look out the window at all hours of 275 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 4: the night and see kids running around spray painting, breaking things, 276 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 4: stealing things. What we see is not what the statistics reflected. 277 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 4: So we've seen time and time again where Democrats collude 278 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 4: with people in the government who do things like the 279 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 4: census and do things like recording statistics, that we have 280 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 4: reason to believe that they've been lying about these statistics 281 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 4: to have a talking point to try to prevent Donald 282 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 4: Trump from doing exactly what he's doing, and that is 283 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 4: sending the National Guardian to control the out of control 284 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 4: crime in Washington, d C. So that's one thing we're 285 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 4: working on the other thing. As you mentioned, we're working 286 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 4: with the White House now on several bills that were 287 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 4: pertain to reining in the out. 288 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: Of control crime in Washington, d C. 289 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 4: This is based on a city that is passed excessive 290 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 4: criminal justice reform to the point to where you don't 291 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 4: get arrested unless you commit a murder. And we've seen 292 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 4: time and time again people get caught for carjacking in 293 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 4: the morning, they get let out, and by that afternoon 294 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 4: and evening they've tried to carjack again. So these are 295 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 4: the issues we're working with the White House, and I 296 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 4: think September is going to be a very busy month 297 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 4: for the House Oversight Committee as we work with President 298 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 4: Trump to try to legislation to reduce crime in. 299 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 2: Washington, d C. 300 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 5: Oh. 301 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, you want to see liberals and Democrats square and 302 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 6: wait till these bills start coming up on the floor. 303 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 6: Are you going to vote in favor of or against? 304 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 6: You know, cashless bail and these types of debates on 305 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 6: the floor are just going to be right because there's 306 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 6: one party that's for law and order, that's Republicans. There's 307 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 6: one party that's against it, that's the Democrats. And when 308 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 6: you all start putting those bills up on the floor 309 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 6: and you have to fort and you force people to vote, 310 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 6: that's going to be highly entertaining, and not just entertaining, 311 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 6: it'll be illumative. It'll illuminate the problem and the difference 312 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 6: between the political parties. One last quick question, Chairman, is 313 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 6: this also these crime statistics. 314 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 2: I look at. 315 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 6: Chicago, I look at la I look at California. I 316 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 6: don't believe that what this they're doing is that something 317 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 6: else that the committee can get after, because the crime stats, 318 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 6: I'm telling you, they don't get they're not on there 319 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 6: if they don't get reported, and then they brag about 320 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 6: how crime is but everybody knows that's not true. 321 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 4: Everybody knows it. Whether you're in Louisville, Kentucky, whether you're 322 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 4: in Chicago, Illinois, all the big cities in America are 323 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 4: facing a crime crisis. Because we have liberal prosecutors, we 324 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 4: have liberal judges. We've taken criminal justice reform to the excesses. 325 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 4: People aren't being held accountable for crimes. Therefore more people 326 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 4: are committing crimes. I think if we can prove that 327 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 4: Washington d C. Has been dishonest with their statistics. We'll 328 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 4: take this show on the road to other cities because 329 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 4: we've got to get serious about crime. The American people 330 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 4: expect somebody to do something about it. The Democrats aren't 331 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 4: doing anything about it. President Trump is, and the Republicans 332 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 4: in Congress hopefully we'll be too. 333 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: You notice one of the most important things that was 334 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: said there by James Comer was we're going to take 335 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: this show on the road. He is echoing what the 336 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: President of the United States of America has said. If 337 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: Democrats refuse to keep Americans safe, the federal government is 338 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: going to do everything in their power to actually keep 339 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: you safe, and they're not going to back down. Now 340 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: this this also is a disaster politically for Democrats. Why 341 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 1: would you want to be so against actually fighting crime 342 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: but apparently willing to lie and alter crime statistics when 343 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: you know that that is not giving a real sense 344 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: of safety for the people that you claim to care about. 345 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: Let's also just talk about the racial aspect of this 346 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: for a moment. 347 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 2: The majority of people. 348 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: That are dying in many of the cities that are 349 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: the most dangerous in America or African Americans, they claim 350 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: that black lives matter. 351 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: If black lives actually. 352 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: Mattered, then why on earth would they not do everything 353 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: they can to stop crime the way that the President 354 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: of United States of America is wanting to do it. 355 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: By the way it's working in DC, it is a 356 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: perfect model to roll out in Baltimore, New Orleans, in 357 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: Memphis and Chicago, in any major city that is filled 358 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: with violent criminals. It is now to bely frustrating if 359 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: you live in one of those cities and you now 360 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: know clearly that the government that you elected is deliberately 361 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: not keeping you safe and maybe lying about how dangerous 362 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: the city actually is instead of actually fighting the criminals. 363 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: And this is what the President is clearly going to do. 364 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: The President is going to expose this. James Comer is 365 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: going to expose it. They're going to go to these 366 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: cities and say we are here to help. And the 367 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: question you need to ask is why are your local 368 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: elective officials fighting us? Now, this is going to be 369 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: a political showdown, and the question is who's going to 370 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: win the hearts and minds of the people in these cities. 371 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: My money is on President Donald Trump. I know that 372 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has been saying for quite some time that 373 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: he believes that interest rates are far too high, holding 374 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: back America's economy and making it harder for Americans to 375 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: own a home and to borrow money for small business 376 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 1: loans and things like that. Well, there's been a war 377 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: with Jerome Powell, and Jerome Powell actually opened the door 378 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: finally to cuts in his August to twenty second Jackson 379 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: Whole speech, saying quote conditions may warrant easing soon and 380 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: stressing the Fed will move carefully based on inflation and 381 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: the softening labor market. Now, part of this revolved around 382 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: the real concern in the labor market. There are real 383 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: worries and stress tests. Powell highlighted the job market as 384 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: quote red flags, reinforcing why a cautious cut could now 385 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: finally be on the table. CBS News even reporting on this, 386 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: saying the inflation risks still matter, saying he flagged terror 387 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: related prices pressuring the related FED and said that look, 388 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: we're trying to do what we've got to do. They 389 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: won't allow a quote one time price bump to become 390 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: persistent inflatation, so deep rapid cuts are quote unlikely as well. Now, 391 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: the market reaction to this was interesting. Stocks rallied Friday 392 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: on the Davis tone then cooled at Monday's open as 393 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: enthusiasm faded for what he actually said. Now, I want 394 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: you to actually hear the reality of the situation. Peter 395 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: Navarro at the White House talking on Fox Business Jennal 396 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: with Maria Bartiromo, and I want you to hear what 397 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: he said about all of this happening in Jackson Hall, 398 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: and Powell said, Look, this is what we all knew 399 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 1: all along. He's finally acknowledging what the Trump camp has 400 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: been saying all along, that interest rates are too high 401 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: and holding us back. Here is again, Peter Navarro at 402 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: the White House, in his own words. 403 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 7: Peter, it's great to see you this morning. Welcome, and 404 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 7: I know you have an op ed out on Jay 405 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 7: Powell which is going to be coming out later on 406 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 7: in the week. Give us your assessment of the Chairman's 407 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 7: speech and this new thinking for September's cut. 408 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 8: Maria, great, thanks for asking. Look, it was twenty minutes 409 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 8: of Powell gobbledegook in thirty seconds of pure Trump beauty. 410 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 8: Powell finally acknowledged what we've been saying in the Trump 411 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 8: camp all along, that tariffs don't create inflation. He had 412 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 8: two sentences that said One, they don't even if they 413 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 8: might create some inflation, it's only a one shot deal, 414 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 8: so there's no inflationary spiral. And two, in the second sentence, 415 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 8: he said that's not going to stop him from cutting rates. 416 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 8: The markets off, they went, Maria, I'm on record as 417 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 8: saying Dallas hitting fifty thousand. I said that, Maria, by 418 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 8: the way, when we were at the plunge, the drop 419 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,479 Speaker 8: when Donald Trump first introduced the tariffs this term, and 420 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 8: the market's rebounded, and it's going to be a rocket 421 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 8: ship because we're going to have price stability and economic 422 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 8: growth from the various aspects of Trump policy, the deregulation 423 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 8: of tax cuts, the strategic energy dominics, and guess what 424 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 8: fair trade, which is getting this tariffs. They're going to 425 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 8: pay down our debt, pay down our debt, pay down 426 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 8: our debt, and pay for the big beautiful tax bill. 427 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 2: Now. 428 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: Look, the markets obviously liked what he had to say. 429 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting how Navarro said, Look, this 430 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,719 Speaker 1: is thirty forty five minutes of gobblygook with a you know, 431 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: thirty seconds of Trump brilliance, where he's admitting what Donald 432 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: Trump has been saying. Along you're holding back the economy. 433 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: I also want you to hear what Charles Pain, good 434 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: friend of mine, had to say at Fox Business Channel 435 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: about this as the stock mark is responding and soaring 436 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: and why why did that happen? Because they understand that 437 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: lowering interest rates in September could have a big impact 438 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: not only on our debt I'm talking about the federal 439 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: government's debt, all right, but also could have a very 440 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: big impact on something else. That's something else is on 441 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: you and your dollars every single month. 442 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 2: Take a listen, and. 443 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 5: Everyone, I'm Charles paying this is making money. So last 444 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 5: week was monumental on several fronts, right, notably the stock market, 445 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 5: which you could see that the red all week long. 446 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 5: In fact, we had a five day losing streak and 447 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 5: that made Friday really, let's face it, there was sort 448 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 5: of a do or die session. Major intersees, of course 449 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 5: the sword sword on that Jackson Hole speech, but the 450 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 5: composition of the rally change, and I think that's one 451 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 5: of the big newsworthy things. This is for the week, right. 452 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 5: You rarely see this, but the big red boxes, the 453 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 5: big red rectangles, and those are your tech names, those 454 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 5: are your mega cap names and summer down a lot, 455 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 5: Palunteered down over ten percent, Microsoft, Apple, They all took 456 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 5: pretty good hints. Meanwhile, more broadly, look at this all 457 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 5: the other stocks of four ninety three stepping up to 458 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 5: the plate and then they're small caps. A lot of 459 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 5: false starts this year, but for the week, small cap well, 460 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 5: there were small cap value, small cap core or small 461 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 5: cap growth actually outperforming huge. One of the best weeks 462 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 5: for small caps in a long time. The question is 463 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 5: will it sustain itself? Can it be sustained? Of course, 464 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 5: the other big news of the week, going back to 465 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 5: Jackson Hall, is where many thought that Jay Powell will 466 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 5: be confrontational, right, or at least, let's be honest, the 467 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 5: media trying to nudge Jay Powell into the corner of 468 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 5: sort of with these NonStop stories. He's going to stick 469 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 5: to his guns. He's going to give it to President Trump. 470 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 5: You know, he's not going to be pushing around. Well, 471 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 5: they were disappointed. Many people were disappointed because Powell, you know, 472 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 5: he didn't hold back in certain ways, though others actually 473 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 5: said this whole thing, this whole not a charade, but 474 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 5: whatever you want to call it, might actually be the 475 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 5: twilight of the Central banking elite. I got to tell you, 476 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 5: I came away thinking that Jay Powell, he's kind of 477 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 5: dealing with realities. Right. Things aren't written into textbooks that 478 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 5: necessarily pertain today. You have two hundred year old economic 479 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 5: theories that don't necessarily apply completely today. This political rhetoric, 480 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 5: this aging, there's. 481 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 2: So many things. 482 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 5: So maybe just maybe he cracked the current code. 483 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 2: Now. 484 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 1: Look, what Jerome Powell is now having to do is 485 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: probably what he knows he should have been doing long 486 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: before September. He's not in the political battle against the 487 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: president as he was early on. Why because I think 488 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: he understands he looks like an idiot. The President also, 489 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: I think, willing to take this win, this w and 490 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: take it and just move on from it because it's 491 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: going to help the economy and the American people so much. 492 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: When I look at where we are and what the 493 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: President has been saying, and what the President's been advocating for, 494 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: He's wanting Americans to be able to do things for themselves. 495 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: He wants him to be able to build or buy 496 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: a house. He wants him to be able to pay 497 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: for things or borrow money at a low rate. He 498 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: wants them to be able to expand their businesses or 499 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: their small businesses. I mean, these are just basic things 500 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: that the President of United States America has been in 501 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: favor of. And unfortunate Democrats have been obsessed with fighting 502 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: the president no matter what, every single time they get 503 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: a chance. 504 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 2: If they can. 505 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: Fight the president, they will fight the president time and 506 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: time again. And Democrats or Pale, the list goes on 507 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: and on. Now there's somebody that say that the president 508 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: should have just gotten rid of Powell. 509 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 5: Right. 510 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: It's independent, however, and there's a lot of questions about that, 511 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: and the Federal Reserve should not be quote political. I 512 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: do believe that Powell has been political. Should there be 513 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: accountability for that? 514 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 2: Right? We can debate that on another show another day. 515 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: What I do know right now is it looks like 516 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: that the Federal Reserve chairman is finally going to do 517 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: not what I want. I think you can argue maybe 518 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: not what you want. He's going to do what the 519 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: market needs, what the market deserves, what the market should 520 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: have already done, what he should have already done, I 521 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: should say, for the market. And the only only reason 522 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: why he's going to do it now is because I 523 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: think he realizes he's actually holding back the American economy 524 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: and he's hurting many Americans. A lot of Americans still 525 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: live paycheck to paycheck. A lot are trying to get ahead. 526 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: A lot of them have debt, credit card debt, or 527 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: home debt, whatever it maybe are. There's people trying to 528 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: buy their first home. And you look at where we are. 529 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: It should be easier than it is right now to 530 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: accomplish those things.
