1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: If you've noticed that prices are soaring right now, it

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: means you're awake and you actually are like dealing with

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: reality in this country now. If you're the Biden administration,

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: you're acting like this isn't happening. We're calling it Biden

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: inflation because the reason why we're dealing with extreme inflation

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: right now is directly because of the policies of the

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: Biden administration. How bad is it? Just take a look

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: at rent in this country right now. Rent is soaring

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: across America. It is a twenty percent jump in one year. Now.

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: The very first thing that jumped with inflation and the

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: prices that start to rise because of Joe Biden, and

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to come back to rent in a moment,

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: was Gasoline. Now. A quick reminder, if you're listening to

Speaker 1: this on social media, and if you would write us

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: a five star review to help us as Democrats have

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: been attacking our podcasts recently with battery views. Now, Gasoline

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: was the very first signal that we had a new

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: policy and a new president. They came in immediately shut

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: down drilling, shut down the Keystone Pipeline, and made sure

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: that Russia got really rich really quick. They made sure

23
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: that Saudi Arabia and Iran, in Iraq and all these

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: other Middle Eastern countries and OPEC, we're gonna make a

25
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: ton of money because they decided to go back to

26
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: the woke policy of green and alternative energy, the same

27
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: policy we had for eight years when we had skyrocket

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: and gas prices, which is one of the main reasons

29
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: why Donald Trump was elected after Obama's because people were

30
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: sick and tired of paying three four five dollars a

31
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: gallon gas depending on where you live around the country.

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: And as soon as Joe Biden got elected first, we

33
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: immediately saw instantly gas prices going up and then heating

34
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: prices going up. Now, the heating prices didn't go up

35
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: as fast as the gas prices, but now they're exactly

36
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: where we are with gas insane. Now we have rent

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: that has totally gone berserk. It's called runaway inflation, and

38
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: this runaway inflation is driving rents skyword across all of

39
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's America, delivering an average of a twenty average. Okay,

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: that means that fifty percent are above the number that

41
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm about to give you, which is an average of

42
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: a twenty percent increase in the US biggest fifty cities

43
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: over the past twelve months. A new study shows, now,

44
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: why are rent price going out Because the cost of

45
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: labor and maintenance and everything else have gone through the roof,

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: and so we are saying that people are having to

47
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: end labor costs are going through the roof, so people

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: are having to raise the price of rent. You've got

49
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: an average, meaning fifty percent of the US biggest fifty

50
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: cities have an increase in rent prices of more than

51
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: twenty percent. That is unsustainable. This is a tax on

52
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: your paycheck. It goes back to what I said five

53
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: months ago. If you made fifty thousand last year, you're

54
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: making forty five thousand this year in spending power. Basically

55
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: because of the price of inflation, the price of goods

56
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: and services going up. You're making five grand less this

57
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: year than you were last year, even if you have

58
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: the same salary, because your buying power has disappeared. Well,

59
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: think about your rent going up twenty percent. It's two

60
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month for every thousand dollars that you're

61
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: spending in rent, and in half of the places it's

62
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: more than a twenty percent increase now. At the same time,

63
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: the US Census Bureau statistics show that rental vacancy rates

64
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: during the fourth quarter of twenty twenty one actually fell

65
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: five point six percent because people are trying to grab houses,

66
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: but the housing prices have gone to the roof now.

67
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: To put that in perspective, that's the lowest since nineteen

68
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: eighty four, and the world's largest economy. The rent spike

69
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: has stung wallets nowhere more than in an area in

70
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: Florida called Miami, the Mi Miami Metro area, where the

71
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: medium rent surged to an eye watering two thousand, eight

72
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars. That's the median rent. That is

73
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: a forty nine point eight percent surge than the previous year.

74
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: You run an apartment last year, you're paying fifty percent

75
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: more for it this year. This is unsustainable other cities

76
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: across Florida right because people have been leaving these woke states,

77
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: getting to freedom states like Florida, leaving California, leaving New

78
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: York and New Jersey and Connecticut and all these other

79
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: woke places Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and the Sun Belt destinations

80
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: of San Diego, Las Vegas, Austin, and Memphis all saw

81
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: spikes of more than twenty five percent during the time period.

82
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: So even Memphis, Tennessee, is up twenty five percent during

83
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: the time period of the last twelve months rent. That's

84
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: how much it's gone up. Now you look at poorer cities,

85
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: Look at Vegas. Okay, look at even Orlando, Jacksonville, Memphis.

86
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: When you have a twenty five percent rent increase, think

87
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: about what that does to poor people. How is that sustainable?

88
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: The warnings, by the way, are now coming, and the

89
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: warnings are that we are teetering on the edge of

90
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: disaster because you're about to make people homeless, not because

91
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: they can't afford to rent a place in general, not

92
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: because they don't have a job, but because they can't

93
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: afford the rent as the rent is going up, because

94
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 1: their pay is not keeping up. You may have a job,

95
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: you may have a job where you're making decent money,

96
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: but if your rent's going up twenty five percent, you're

97
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: gonna have to move. So you're either going to have

98
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: to go to a higher crime, higher poverty area, or

99
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: even a smaller place if you can find it, but

100
00:05:54,640 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: it's unsustainable. Rent prices going up twenty five percent. If

101
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: you're a Democrat, you should really be upset about this,

102
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: because the Democratic Party says they're gonna make life easier

103
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: for you. Was your rent twenty five percent up in

104
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: the last year during any year of Trump's presidency. The

105
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: answer is no, why. Because he understood the economy and

106
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: he understood how it works. He understood that inflation is bad.

107
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: He understood that the number one way that you can

108
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: help people, the number one way that you can help

109
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: people is by making sure that you have no inflation

110
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: and by also making sure that you have affordable gas prices.

111
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: Let's go back to gas real quick, and what we

112
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: were talking about just a moment ago, with natural gas,

113
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: heating oil, petroleum products in general. When you start taking

114
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: an extra dollar a gallon out of people's paychecks, out

115
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: of their pocket when they go to fill up, that

116
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: is one of the worst things you can do for

117
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: a family living paycheck to paycheck. It's one of the

118
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: hardest things for people to figure out how to compensate

119
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: for it, how to deal with it. And then you

120
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: do that, and then you raise the rent twenty percent

121
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: or twenty five percent or fifty percent, like you are

122
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: in Miami. You can't afford to survive. You can't even

123
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: survive at this point, forget living. It's we're now in

124
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: full blown survival mode. And this is exactly what's happened

125
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: because of Biden inflation. Boston, by the way, has now

126
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: nearly overtaken San Francisco as a nation's most expensive rental market,

127
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: with a twenty seven percent increase in costs with properties

128
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: with two bedrooms. Yeah, the Biden administration has failed to

129
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: tackle high and rising inflation and now has pushed consumers

130
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: to a point where they're breaking, especially the poorest. Let's

131
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: look at New York City. Even in New York City,

132
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: as people ran away from that city because of all

133
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: their COVID measures, rent price of increased twenty two point

134
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: eight percent year over year. Los Angeles saw a bit more,

135
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: they cool down because of high crime and high poverty,

136
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: and people leaving so fast from LA because of their lockdowns.

137
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: But even in LA, fourteen percent increase year over year

138
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: in rent prices. All as prices for gasoline, use, cars,

139
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: food and other goods are continuing to skyrocket. We're not

140
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: talking about a little like three percent increases, two percent increases,

141
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: five percent increases your paycheck, And there's a very good

142
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: chance if you made fifty grand last year, your buying

143
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: power this year will be under forty thousand with these

144
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: inflationary increases. Across the fifty largest US metro areas, medium

145
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: rent rose in astonishing nineteen point three percent from December

146
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty December twenty twenty one. So if you take

147
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: out the top fifty cities and you go to these

148
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: you know media, you go to these other cities, you're

149
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: still looking at nineteen point three percent increase. So you

150
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: add rising rents and high inflation are moving hand in

151
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: hand to become more of the nation's top economic disaster.

152
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: It's not even a problem anymore. It's a disaster. The

153
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: Labor Department data, which covers existing rents as well as

154
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: new listings, showed much smaller increases, they said, but they said,

155
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: well they are picking up. Rental costs rose zero point

156
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: five percent in January from December, the Department said last week.

157
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: That was the biggest single increase in twenty years and

158
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: will likely accelerate even as the Biden administrations trying to downplay,

159
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: So in just one month your rent costs again. You

160
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: rent an apartment in December compared to January, you're paying

161
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: a half a percentage point more for rent to fifty

162
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: dollars increase on a thousand dollars apartment was a thousand

163
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: last one thousand and fifty next month of the eleven hundred,

164
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: biggest single increase in twenty years, and they admitted the

165
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: Labor Department admit it will likely accelerate throughout the year.

166
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: Quote without a lot of rental vacancy that landlords are

167
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: accustomed to having. That gives them some pricing power because

168
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: they're not sitting on empty units that they need to fill.

169
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: But you also have a problem with people that are

170
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: just not able to afford houses right now because too

171
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: much of their money is going to basic needs and necessities,

172
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: including putting gas in their cards. One expert said. Now

173
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: economists are worried about the impact of rent increases on

174
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: inflation because the big jumps and new leases feed into

175
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: the US Consumer Price Index, which is used to measure inflation.

176
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: Inflation right now is the point that I think most

177
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: people can't even comprehend it. Inflation jumps seven point five

178
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: percent in January from a year earlier. That's the biggest

179
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: increase in forty years, forty years, four decades now. If

180
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: you think they're going to figure out how to make

181
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: things better, they're not. Let me go back to what

182
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: was said by Kamala Harris. She has come out the

183
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: same people that shut down the Keystone Pipeline, the same

184
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: people that got rid of our energy independence. What is

185
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: allowed for prices to skyrocket, the same exact people that

186
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: made it possible for Russia to make more money than

187
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 1: ever before off of oil and gas, and those in

188
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: the Middle East that our enemies are now warning Americans

189
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: of higher energy costs if Russia invades Ukraine. Vice President

190
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris acknowledged Americans will face higher energy costs in

191
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: the event of Russian President Vatamir Putin sending troops in Ukraine,

192
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: citing the punishing sanctions that we need to have to

193
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: prepare for it when it happens. A sentence that she

194
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: said in response to a basic question also barely made

195
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: any sense at all. I'm going to read you her

196
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: response to a question before I play it, because otherwise

197
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: you're going to be totally lost. She was asked about

198
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: what Americans can expect, and people in America are becoming

199
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: angry over energy prices. And this is her actual response,

200
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: and then I'll play it for you, she said. And again,

201
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: try to decipher what she's saying here, because it's very

202
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: hard to do. Quote. When America stands for her principles

203
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: and all of the things that we hold dear, it

204
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: requires some times for us to put ourselves out there

205
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: in a way that maybe we will incur some costs.

206
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what so, therefore, you're gonna not have energy independence.

207
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: You're not going to open up the Keystone pipeline to

208
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: protect America. You're just going to say, incur the costs.

209
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: That's your response to rising inflation and what's happening in

210
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: Russian Ukraine. Listen as a reporter asked a question, and

211
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: this is a response from your vice president. Can you

212
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: explain to Americans what exactly will they face if this happened. Sure,

213
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: as the President talks about in his speech, we are

214
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: aware that again, when America stands for her principles and

215
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: all of the things that we hold dear, it requires

216
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: sometimes for us to ourselves out there in a way

217
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: that maybe we will incurse some cost, and in this situation,

218
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: that may relate to energy costs, for example, but we

219
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: are taking very specific and appropriate, I believe, steps to

220
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: mitigate what that cost might be if it happens. If

221
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: it happens, mitigate the costs. All right, So could you

222
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: become more energy and dependent? Could you say at this point, hey,

223
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: we need to reopen up the Keystone pipeline and we

224
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: need to fight and lower the prices to make sure

225
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: that Russia, while they're invading, isn't have a bunch of

226
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: money to do it with. Could that be part of it?

227
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we just sent the vice president to stop

228
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: a war because apparently the president doesn't know how to

229
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: do that on his own. And the vice President is

230
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: at Munich in the security conference, and she's there and

231
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: she's going to try to stop a war, and she said,

232
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine may drive up energy costs. Here.

233
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: We have no plan to change or alter or anything

234
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: we're doing in America. You're just going to have to

235
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: deal with it. America. When America stands for her prints,

236
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: suppose and all the things that we hold dear, it

237
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: requires sometimes trust to put ourselves out there in a

238
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: way that maybe we will incurage some cost and in

239
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: this situation that may relate to energy costs. That may

240
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: relate to energy costs. All right, so let's back up

241
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: just for a second here and be clear. She is

242
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: admitting that the policy that we're having right now is

243
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: going to hurt Americans, and we have a way to

244
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: fix it or fight back, but we're deliberately not doing it,

245
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:35,359
Speaker 1: and we're going to impose a significant fine on Americans

246
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: so that Russia can make more money because we refuse

247
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: to do the responsible thing, which is to be energy

248
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: independent right now when we actually need the price of

249
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: all to go down, not just because of inflation in

250
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: this country, but also to hurt Russia. Russia is able

251
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: to do what they're doing right now because they're making

252
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: record dollars off of their gas. Remember we allowed him

253
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: to have a pipeline going to Europe and while when

254
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: we shut down our pipeline. Now, that's the same woman

255
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: that wants you to believe that we're gonna have, you know,

256
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: imposed significant and unprecedented sanctions on Russia, which I don't believe,

257
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: and you are going to pay for it. We're not

258
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: going to change our policy to make the Russians pay no, no, no, no, no,

259
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna pay for Russia's actions in Ukraine. You as Americans,

260
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: are gonna pay for this. Now. To be clear, I

261
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: understand America making sacrifices, and sometimes we spend money to

262
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: protect ourselves in the world, right in an act of war,

263
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: if we have to buy airplanes and missiles and AMMO

264
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: and guns and train to military and build up and

265
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: all those things. After nine to eleven, I understand incurring

266
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: that expense. We're not going to war with anybody. Russia's

267
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: going to war with Ukraine, and we're going to be

268
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: punished financially because we refuse to do the responsible thing

269
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: and become energy independent. They refused to admit they've made

270
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: a mistake. It would be easy for this admitrustration to

271
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: come out, and it would be easy for this administration

272
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: to say, we've got to change things right. We have to,

273
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: We've got to do things differently here. We're gonna we're

274
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: gonna make sure that we don't allow them to make

275
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: a lot of money off of us because of our

276
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: policy decisions. We could do that. We could have that conversation,

277
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, even Politico and the and the woke people

278
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: on ABC this week they were having a conversation about Biden,

279
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: and they are now having to admit what I've been

280
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: telling you and what the American people are feeling like.

281
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: They're having to admit that when Biden said inflation was temporary,

282
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: it's not, and it's only gotten worse since he said it.

283
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: As you know, Democrats, a lot of them have been

284
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: frustrated with, you know, President Biden going out there and

285
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: saying inflation is quote transitory, like it's just temporary, it's

286
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: going to go away, and it's been months now, it's

287
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: only gotten worse. You know, there was an interview, you know,

288
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: just a few days ago where he attacked Lester Holt,

289
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: calling him a wise guy. If we're just asking questions

290
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: that American voters, whether they be Democrats, independence or publicans,

291
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: are asking, is what are you going to do about inflation?

292
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: And so he does have to do things for frontliners

293
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: who are up in twenty twenty two and who are

294
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: saying we need to tout our accomplishments like infrastructure, what

295
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: we've done so far with the pandemic. But he's really

296
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: got to be careful not to sound tone deaf like

297
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: he has for the past several months when it comes

298
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: to this inflation issue. But you know the music, I

299
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 1: love this tone debt. He is absolutely tone debt. I

300
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: don't think he cares, or maybe he doesn't even know.

301
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: You want to compare it to Donald Trump. Representative Jason Smith,

302
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: but it this way when he was asked about inflation.

303
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: Right now, Democrats have been focused on their partisan agenda

304
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: while the check engine light of the Biden economy has

305
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: been on and flashing bright. Inflation rose faster and Joe

306
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: Biden's first year in office than President Trump's entire first term.

307
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: Democrats first denied inflation existed. You denied today and said

308
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: that it's only temporary in some cases, and then dismissed

309
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: it as transitor. Even members of this committee like you,

310
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: mister Chairman, said panicking over inflation was uninformed and mistided.

311
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: Economist warned for months of the impact that reckless government

312
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: spending would have on inflation. What did Democrats do they

313
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: spend two trillion dollars in the President's bell out bill.

314
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: He's right, it's a member of Congress saying this, but

315
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: this is the present. It's like, oh, it's gonna be fine.

316
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: And I think it's because he doesn't care. I really

317
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: do you know. Senator Warren, by the way, is trying

318
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: to do a Jedi mind trek on you right now.

319
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: She actually said that this is not the policy fault

320
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: of the Biden administration, even though everybody now is clearly

321
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: admitting that it is. She actually slammed companies for raising

322
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: prices and saying, well, we shouldn't let them quote hide

323
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: behind inflation, acting like inflation isn't real. Now, either she's

324
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: willfully ignorant or totally incompetent, or flat out stupid, or

325
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: she's just a liar. Because Democrats somehow believe that they

326
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: can always turn the hard working people that create things

327
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: and create companies and the bad guys. Every time they

328
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: need to dunk on somebody to get out of jail,

329
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: they're like, well, let's just blame big business or big

330
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: tech or big industry or whatever it is, right, let's

331
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: just blame them all. And I guess this is what

332
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: they're going to run on. Well, this is really the

333
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: problem of the private sector because they're hiding behind a

334
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: little bit of inflation. How much is it. It's more

335
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: inflation than we've seen in the last forty years. I

336
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: turned forty this year. In my entire lifetime, we've never

337
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: seen inflation like we've seen it right now, seven point

338
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: five percent inflation the last year alone. And what did

339
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: Senator Warren say, Well, it's really the companies that are

340
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: raising the prices. We shouldn't let them hide behind inflation,

341
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: which is just not true. Now, you might think inflation

342
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: would also be bad for companies, after all, an increase

343
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: in the cost of doing business would likely eat into

344
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: a company's bottom line, but this is not happening. In fact,

345
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: the CEOs of some of the biggest companies have been

346
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: bragging to their investors that inflation has created a terrific

347
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: opportunity for them to boost profits. Take the grocery chain Kroger.

348
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: Kroger has seen its business boom during the pandemic, with

349
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: its stock price rising nearly forty percent over the past year.

350
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: By the way, you want to know why, and this

351
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: is the part that really irks me. Kroger's profits have

352
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: gone up and their stock has quote boom because people

353
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: can't afford to go out and drive around and eat out.

354
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: People are going the grocery store and they're having to

355
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: pay premium for the food they're getting and the prices

356
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: of meat and all these things have gone up, and

357
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: so they've been able to make more money because they

358
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: have more people shopping now than they had before, Fewer

359
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: people going out, which means you're eating home more, which

360
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: means you need more food at home to cook. It's

361
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: not hard to figure this out. But no, no no, no,

362
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: its Witheth Warren wants you to hate Kroger. Kroger CEO

363
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: recently told investors that, quote a little bit of inflation

364
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: is always good in our business end quote. It is

365
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: because when the price of goods go up and people

366
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: stop going out to eat, they buy more food at

367
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: the grocery store to cook at home. If you've ever

368
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: taken any lesson in economics and Elizabeth Warren, I have

369
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: a feeling, is not this dumb? She would know that.

370
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: That is why he's saying inflation is good for our business.

371
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: Kroger's business, any grocery stores business is going to be

372
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: better when inflation is going up because that means that

373
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: people are staying home more, they're doing more things from home.

374
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: So any business that makes money from people staying home

375
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: during inflation, that it's going to increase their profits because

376
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: they have more customers buying more stuff because they're not

377
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: going out. So, doctor Bouchet, would you agree that it's

378
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: easier for companies like Kroger to raise prices in an

379
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: inflationary environment because consumers are general really aware that prices

380
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: are going up, and that lets companies hide behind inflation

381
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: to expand their profits. This is the this is your expert.

382
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: This is the woman that's supposed to be fighting inflation

383
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: who doesn't understand how inflation is good for a grocery

384
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: store because it changes the buying patterns of Americans the

385
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: way that I just described it. Now, She's also not

386
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: stopping there. She's going after Elon Musk, saying, what's you know?

387
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is Tesla CEO. He didn't pay any taxes.

388
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: Not true, by the way, Elon Musk has a multi

389
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: billion dollar anticipated tax bill for twenty twenty one. But

390
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: she's angry because she's claiming he paid zero taxes. Take

391
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: a listen to part of this conversation from Fox on

392
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: this issue. War rages on between the white man and

393
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: the Native American. Elon Musk now firing back a Cherokee

394
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: princess Elizabeth Warren over her calls to seize his wompum.

395
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: It started Monday when the Massachusetts Democrat tweeted, quote, let's

396
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: change the rim tax code so the Person of the

397
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: Year will actually pay taxes and stop stop freeloading off

398
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: everyone else. Yesterday Musk replied, please don't call the manager

399
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: on me. Senator Karen adding if you opened your eyes

400
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 1: for two seconds, you would realize I will pay more

401
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: taxes than any American in history this year. So is

402
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: taking more of Elon Musk's money and putting it in

403
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: the hands of government Bureaucrat's the answer to America's problems.

404
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: The answer is, of course, if you're a Democrat. Yes.

405
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: But when Tesla's CEO fires back at Elizabeth Warren who

406
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: claimed that he paid zero taxes in two thousand and eighteen,

407
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: and he says, no, no no, no, I'm gonna pay more

408
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: taxes than any of the American in history, she said.

409
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: Warren said on Sunday, Elon Musk in two thousan eighteen,

410
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: we've actually seen your tax returns. Do you know how

411
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: much he paid in taxes one of the richest people

412
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: in the world. Zero, she goes, Musk paid no federal

413
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: income tax in two thousand and eighteen, Musk reportedly lives

414
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: off loans he takes from Tessela's shares that he owns

415
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: through stock options. Must responded to a Twitter post that

416
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: quoted part of Warren's claim, but admitted the reference to

417
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. You know how much Eli Munths paid in

418
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: taxes one of the richest people in the world. Zero

419
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: is what she wrote. We'll visit i RS next time

420
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: I'm in DC. Just say hi, since I paid the

421
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: most taxes ever in history for an individual last year.

422
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: Must replied, maybe I can have a cookie or something.

423
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: But Senator Warren's got to keep pushing this narrative out

424
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: there that it's all the problem of the rich people.

425
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: That's the problem. For twenty twenty one, must said he

426
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: anticipated spending more in taxes than some countries make in

427
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: a year. He will pay over eleven billion dollars eleven

428
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: billion dollars, Bloomberg News is reporting, and he could face

429
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: a bill of more than ten billion if he exercises

430
00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: stock options as well this year. Bloomberg News or that

431
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,239
Speaker 1: the sum could be the largest individual payment to the

432
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: IRS and history of the IRS. Oh, but Elizabeth Warren

433
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: wants you to believe the Elon must an evil rich

434
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: person and it's his fault in Kroger's fault that the

435
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: prices of goods are going up. Can't be their fault. No, no, no, no, no,

436
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: can't be Nasdac, by the way, recently publish a report

437
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,719
Speaker 1: that listed countries with a projected lowest gross domestic product

438
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. Guess what he's going to pay

439
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: more in taxes than the GDP in South Sudan, Somalia, Mozambique.

440
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: Mozambique's projected GDP as thirteen point nine six billion in

441
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Musk said, stop projecting, He wrote in response,

442
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,719
Speaker 1: linking to a twenty nineteen opinion piece from political consultant

443
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: Bradley Blackman, which classifies Warren as a fraud following her

444
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: claims of Native American history. Just reminding her of how

445
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: full of crap she actually is. Now, I go back

446
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: to the point I was saying a moment ago about

447
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: Biden inflation. This is a disaster. One of the best

448
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 1: headlines was this Biden inflation. Consumer prices surged seven percent

449
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: worse since nineteen eighty two. US inflation out of control

450
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: of the highest level in nearly forty years in December,

451
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: underscoring the high and rising inflation that has been the

452
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: hallmark of the first year of Joe Biden's presidency. The

453
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: hallmark folks like, this is everything, This is where we

454
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: are in inflation, it's everything. You can try to screw

455
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: with us right now. Biden's economic advisor even was so stupid.

456
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: She at a forum two days ago said this about inflation,

457
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: think more about that. But we know that we need

458
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 1: to get inflation under control. There was no question about it.

459
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: I think that the number one way the president needs

460
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: to be focused on, and we all need to be

461
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: focused on, is getting this pandemic under control. Because this

462
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: is all driven by the pandemic. Oh, yes, gotta be

463
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: the pandemic. Can't be lack of energy independence, No, no no,

464
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: let's blame it all on COVID. It's amazing how we

465
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: just got full circle. Right, So it's not. And then,

466
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: and here's my question to the left, So is it

467
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren slamming companies for raising prices? Is it corporate

468
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: America and greed? Because Biden's economic advisor just contradicted her

469
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: saying no, no, this is all driven by the pandemic.

470
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: And remember you can always go back right and just

471
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: blame everything on COVID. Now, did COVID shut down the

472
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: Keystone pipeline, No it didn't. COVID did not shut down

473
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: the Keystone pipeline. Did COVID stop the drilling off shore?

474
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: No it didn't the least thing of off shore drilling.

475
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: No it didn't. So COVID didn't do that. Here's my

476
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: other question. Why is inflation not what it is in

477
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: other countries compared to America right now? If everybody dealt

478
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: with a pandemic. You know, Democrats have no idea how

479
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: to answer these questions. I'll give you an example. Democrat

480
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: Representative Clark was asked about inflation and her response was,

481
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: and this is a real response, is not Saturday Night Live.

482
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: She decided to talk about a woman getting her home

483
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: weatherized through the American Rescue Plan. So you paid for

484
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: some woman's home to get winter weatherized, winterise right sealed up.

485
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: You paid for that listend. So so back to the

486
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: initial question, do your constituents feel that any progress is

487
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: being made to address these really significant issues like rising inflation.

488
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about a woman that I met

489
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: just a few days ago named Susan who, through the

490
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: American Rescue Plan had her house weatherized and this was

491
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: critical to her reducing her energy costs. She is all,

492
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: I mean, right there, any decent reporter would jump in

493
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: and go, I'm sorry, I'm not gonna let this like.

494
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: There's millions of Americans that are watching right now, and

495
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me that the American Rescue Act helped

496
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: a woman get her home weatherizes through the American Rescue

497
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: Plan and so her heating costs her down. So don't

498
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: worry about inflation. That's your response. That's the story you're

499
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna say, is a member of Congress, as a Democrat

500
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: Representative Clark, who is supposed to be looking at for

501
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: the people, This is the best answer you've got right now.

502
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: Be saving fifty dollars each and every month because of

503
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: this weatherization. By the way, all right, let's just take

504
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: her number at face value. This woman she's talking about

505
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: who was able to weatherize her house for the American

506
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: Rescue Plan is same fifty dollars a month on her

507
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: costs for heating and AC and everything else. If her

508
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: rent went up twenty percent average, maybe even thirty percent,

509
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: depending where she lives. Or forty percent, depending on where

510
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: she lives. Does the fifty dollars fix the problem? Because

511
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: that's what you're implying, is that you guys have figured

512
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: this out through weatherization of homes. If she goes to

513
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: the grocery store and she can't afford groceries, does it

514
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: matter if she saved fifty dollars at home on weatherizing

515
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: your house? This is your answer. This is how out

516
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: of touch the Biden team and all the congress and

517
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: centers are around them. Well, there's a woman that weatherized

518
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: your house and say fifty dollars a month, So that

519
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: should fix all your problems. That is exactly the work

520
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: that we're doing. Let's put the American family and the

521
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: challenges they're facing front and center. That is the challenge

522
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: that we're tackling. Okay, I'm glad to know that this

523
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: is what I can expect from you. Weatherize your house, folks,

524
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: and that's it. Just weatherize your house. This is why

525
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: these elections coming up are going to be so important.
