1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: So I remember earlier this year when there was a 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: story that came out that said a bunch of your 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: tax dollars were going to pay for crack pipes and cities, 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: liberal cities all over the country. The White House was 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: asked about this, Are we really spending our tax hours 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: to hand out crack pipes to crackheads. Now, the logic 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: behind this was, well, we need to give them clean 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: crack pipes so that they don't get infections and get sick. 9 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: So we're going to aid and about them and getting 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: high in a safe way. I wish I was joking 11 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: when I say this, because when I just said out loud, 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: I realized how stupid it actually sounds. Yet that was 13 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: the policy of this administration. They wanted to make sure 14 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: that you could get high on crack in a safe manner. 15 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: Let that sink in, and you were going to pay 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: for it as a taxpayer. All right, real quick, I 17 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: want to tell you about my good friends over at 18 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: Legacy Precious Metals.

There will not be 48 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: crackpipes given out for free, which your taxpayers dollars. That's 49 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: not going to happen. They called it a conspiracy theory. 50 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: They said it was a conspiracy theory and a lie. Okay, 51 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: so case closed, right. That's how the media treated it. 52 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,119 Speaker 1: The media was like, oh, it's conspiracy here, this bunch 53 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: of them maga Trump crazies making lies up. White House 54 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: said it's lies, therefore it must be a lie. We'll 55 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: move on because it's obviously a lie. Well guess what. 56 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: It wasn't a conspiracy theory. The only people that did 57 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: lie to you was the White House. Take a listen 58 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: to Jesse Waters and how he described it on Fox 59 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: or Drops. The White House denied it up in doubt. 60 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: HHS just put out the statement clarifying around some reports 61 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: that crack pipes are not would be part of the 62 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: Safe Smoking Kids that are funded by the administration. But 63 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: can you clarify for us were they never a part 64 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: of the kid or were they removed in response to 65 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: this reporting that they were never a part of the kid. 66 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: It was inaccurate reporting, and we wanted to put out 67 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: information to make that clear. We don't support federal funding 68 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: indirect or direct for pipes and if that was in 69 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: February the ninth, USA Today, they came out right, because 70 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: if you're a fact checker and you can fact check everything, 71 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: then immediately you can say it's a lie. Right, here's 72 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: the USA Today as they put it. Of course they 73 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: had the fact checkers to back them up. USA Today 74 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: reported it was a false claim. Fact check dot org 75 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: claim the funds were for overdose prevention. Definitely not the 76 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: crack pipes. Obviously CNN had to deny the claims too, 77 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: but they were all wrong. Fact check it political. It's 78 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: seen in politics. Fact check Biden administration isn't funding crackpipes. 79 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: February the seventeenth. That is their headline. That's what they 80 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: have in their headline. Fact check dot Org Biden Initiative 81 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: funds drug overdose prevention not crackpipes. And USA Today, which 82 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: loves to mark things online and silence conservatives on Facebook's 83 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: said fact check false claim that the Biden administration is 84 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: distributing thirty million dollars of crack pipes. So all of 85 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: the big three fact checking organizations all said that it 86 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: was crazy Republicans a lying putting out misinformation about crack 87 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: pipes being given out to crackheads with your tax dollars. 88 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: What was happening. They were giving out crack pipes and 89 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: now we know for a fact they were doing it. 90 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: The Washington Free Beacon reported today that safe smoking kits 91 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: provided by local nonprofits do include crack pipes. They know 92 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: because they got their hands on some. From Boston to 93 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: New York to Baltimore, every single city's testing kit comes 94 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: with a complimentary crack pipe. The crack pipes all look 95 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: the same, they all have the same markings. You go 96 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: to New York City, they call it a safer smoker 97 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: kit smoking kit that it has a crack pipe. The 98 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: same thing in Boston, the same thing in Washington, d C. 99 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 1: They even give you a little bit of aluminum foil 100 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: to smoke your crack with. There. That's like an add 101 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: on Baltimore, they got nice crack pipes there, Richmond, Virginia, 102 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: nice crack pipes there. They give you everything you need 103 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: to quote smoke crack safely. Did the fact checkers even 104 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: get their hands on any of these kits or did 105 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: they just take the word from allowing politician and just 106 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: print it. Yeah, that's exactly what happened. Jensaki was given 107 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: the chance to set the records straight today and she 108 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: called it, of course, a conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theory. So 109 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: we're holding the crack pipes from Boston, DC, Baltimore, New York, Richmond, 110 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: all up and down the East coast, and the White 111 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: House slide to you and said it was a lie. 112 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: And now they now that they've been busting a lie, 113 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: they're going to say it's a conspiracy theory. This policy 114 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: does not allow for crack pipes to be included. I 115 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: would just note that this is a bit of a 116 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory that's been spread out there. It's not accurate. 117 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,119 Speaker 1: Money is not used for crack pipes. A conspiracy theory 118 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: is just something Democrats don't want to talk about. I'm 119 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: sure they'll be calling record high gas prices a conspiracy 120 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: theory too. There you go. We're all wrong, folks. Safe 121 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: smoking kits does include a complimentary crack pipe. The White 122 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: House says, after being busted in the lie, that it 123 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: is a conspiracy theory. Washington Free Beacon reporter Patrick Hoff 124 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: said after they attacked him, he had no other choice 125 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: but to go out there and prove that this actually happened. 126 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: He sat down with Tugger Carlson take a listen to 127 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: make that clear. So Jen Psaki told you the kids 128 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: just have lip bomb and the fact checkers at USA Today, 129 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: who for the record will literally say anything reported, There 130 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: were definitely no crack pipes inside, So shut up, conspiracy monger. Quote. 131 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: What's inside is say smoking kid to stop opioid overdose. No, 132 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: it's not a crack pipe. But of course they did 133 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: no reporting on it because it's not really a news organization. 134 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: It's USA Today, America's newspaper. But the Washington Freebeacon decided 135 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: to report the story, which reporters' supposed to do. Patrick 136 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: Haalf is a reporter at the Freebeacon. He did the 137 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: leg work. He joins us tonight to tell us what 138 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: he found. Patrick thinks for coming on, So you actually 139 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: did the reporting. What did you find? Yeah, so, just 140 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: to first address what Jen Saki said, I mean, this 141 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: is the exact messaging they did when we broke the 142 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: story back in February. Oh no, no, no, oh no, 143 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: the pipes are not in the kids. And happily the 144 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: media pushed us narrative, they printed the press release. But 145 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: what we decided was actually to go out and do 146 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: the real work to figure out what is a smoking kid. 147 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: So we went to five different cities up and down 148 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: the East Coast and we found, of course, yes, a 149 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: crack pipe is within a crack smoking kid. That's the 150 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: whole point. You smoke with a pipe. But I mean, 151 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: we have the worst drug epidemic in American history, one 152 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,599 Speaker 1: hundred and seven thousand dead last year. Why would you 153 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: have any clue why the White House would would promote 154 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: drug addiction. Yes, so this program is the the thirty 155 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: million dollars HS program. It gives us money to these 156 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: harm reduction organizations. And on this grand program was listed 157 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: these smoking kids and supposed leads. It is supposed to 158 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: reduce harm for users. Now I've continued to reach out 159 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: to HS. Okay, well, clearly these pipes are in the 160 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: smoking kids. We went on and got them. There's been 161 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: documented proof for this going back for years. I'd say, okay, well, 162 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: how are you going to ensure these pipes are not 163 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: in the kids? They have no answer for this. They've 164 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: they've the White House clearly has been making this up 165 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: as they've gone along, because there's been quite the backlash. Yeah, 166 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's drains is really quick. So 167 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: you did what reporters are supposed to do. Would you 168 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: just checked the press release to see if it was 169 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: accurate and called around. Why didn't the New York Times 170 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: do that? Look, I can't say that, but look, we 171 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: decided to go out in the street, and I tell you, Tucker, 172 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: what I found was horrifying, and I don't think any 173 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: reporter would want to see that. But the Washington Free Beacon, 174 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: of course, took to the streets. In Boston, what was 175 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: the worst, and that was the Boston harm Production Center, 176 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: actually the City's Health Department, run by the city's health department. 177 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: And I go there and there's I mean, at least 178 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: a dozen drug addicts walking around. It was horrifying. Go in, 179 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: I get the pipe. They put me in their system 180 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: for free and it's easy. Walk in, walk out, get 181 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: the crack pipe. And I walk outside. I saw a man. 182 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: This is eleven am, Tucker. I saw a man shoot 183 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: up in his calf, ten yards away from a police car. 184 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: I called the police. Is this something you're aware of? 185 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: No answer, Just degrading the American population, killing people. It's 186 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: so dark, it's hard to believe that's happening. And I appreciate, 187 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: deeply appreciate your going and doing the reporting on this. Yeah, 188 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: thank you. Just real quick, Tucker, I just want to 189 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: sell you the crack pipe that we got here. This 190 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: is the crack pipe, and here we got the meth pipe. 191 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: So it's unbelievable. I mean, it's it's so easy to get. 192 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: It's right there. Yeah, not lip bom, wow, thank you. 193 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 1: Whitehouse says it's conspiracy theory, though your tax dollars are 194 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: clearly not going for this program. So it takes one 195 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: brave reporter to go out there and ask the question. 196 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: Just one one brave reporter. You knows what Representative Waltz 197 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: said yesterday. He said it this way on Capitol Hill 198 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: that in a Biden's America, it's easier to get a 199 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: crack pipe and a government funded smoke kit than to 200 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: find baby formula. Like I think we did to take 201 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: a moment and think about the fact that in Joe 202 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: Biden's America, it seems like it's easier to get a 203 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: crack pipe and a government funded smoking kit than it 204 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: is to find baby formula. I'm a new father of 205 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: a four month old. He's right, you can go get 206 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: a crack pipe easier than you can find baby formula 207 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: right now. Now. People were angry with Representative Waltz for 208 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: actually saying that, how dare you say that? Right? How 209 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: dare you say this? Lieutenant North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark 210 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: Keith Robinson became famous for speaking out as an African 211 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: American man. Here's what he had to say about crack 212 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: pipes and you paying for them and what it's doing 213 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: in the African American community. Station, get back to some 214 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: common sense and some descent. All this foods this is 215 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: we got going all around here, this old incontinent, incompetent 216 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: commanding in chief, if you want to call it, that, 217 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: sending out crack pipes to people, sending out crack pipes 218 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: to people. Joe, we said, open the plick line. You 219 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: understood sipe, sanity pipeline. Joe, we said pipe line, not 220 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: crack pipe. Pipe line cannas and said, and Biden's America, 221 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: you only go out to get vaccinated, do smashing grabs, Right, 222 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: that's what you do. You in Biden's America, you go 223 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: out there and you do smashing grabs, get vaccinated, and 224 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: grab a free crack pipe. Well, I think it's pretty 225 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: obvious that Biden administration loves Black America and loves America 226 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: and cares about the health and wellbeing. All you have 227 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: to do to be healthy, and Joe Biden's America stay 228 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: at home, lock your doors, avoid sunlight, mask your children 229 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 1: when you step outside. Let it only be to get 230 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: five vaccines and maybe do a smashing grab crime and 231 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: then on your way back home, grab a government sponsored 232 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: crack pipe. I don't know why people think that Joe 233 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: Biden doesn't care about the lives of the average Americans 234 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 1: and Black Americans. It's so clear by the way he's 235 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: running things that he actually cares. Now you can compare 236 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: and contrast what we're witnessing with these crack pipes to 237 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: exactly what's happening in this country. In Biden's America, where 238 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: in the greatest country in the world. You can't even 239 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: get baby formula right now. And they knew there was 240 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: a problem because they're the ones that shut down the 241 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: largest producer a baby formula in America. They knew that 242 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: they were going to the pipeline right of baby formulas 243 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: gonna be cut by forty percent. They knew that there 244 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: was going to be panic buying. When people saw the 245 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: shelves that weren't stopped with baby formula, they knew that 246 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: this was going to happen. And the case study for 247 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: that was COVID. Remember during COVID, when people were buying 248 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: up pallets of water like somehow COVID was going to 249 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: affect the water come in your house, which it wasn't. 250 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: But we've seen people be stupid, right, There was nothing 251 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: in COVID that said that you needed massive amounts of 252 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: toilet paper because you're gonna have something horrific intestinal problem. 253 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: It was gonna make you sit on the toilet for 254 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: eight hours a day and need all this toilet paper. 255 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: Yet what happened. People are stupid, and every roll of 256 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: toilet paper was disappearing from the shelves. Then all of 257 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: a sudden, it was like paper towels too, and you're like, 258 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: why why, I mean, what with COVID makes you need 259 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of paper towels? Didn't matter. Panic buying sets in. 260 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: Then we saw dairy disappear, panic buying sitting in. Then 261 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: we saw meat disappearing, panic buying setting in. None of 262 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: those things are related to COVID any in any way, right, 263 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Once the panic sets in, it sets in. 264 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: So they just saw a massive case study into what 265 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: happens with panic buying in America. They knew they were 266 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: gonna take off forty thirty forty percent depending on who 267 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: you talked too, of the baby formula in this shutdown. 268 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: They didn't do anything to fix it or change it. 269 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: But who is this administration putting first Americans? Representative Kamak 270 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: is the one that broke the story on the piles 271 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: and pallets of baby formula going to the southern border, 272 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: putting illegal immigrants ahead of Americans citizens who are desperately 273 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: in need. People are angry with her, saying, well, what 274 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: are you saying that we should starve the children at 275 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: the border. That's not worth saying, but we should at 276 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: least put American kids first and not make it easier 277 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: for illegal immigrants to come across the border because they 278 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: know when they do, we're going to give them baby formula. 279 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: For example, listen to this, Kamma joins us. Now, good 280 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: morning to you, Congresswoman, Good morning, Ainslie, good morning doing well. 281 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: Thank you. So tell us how you receive this photo, 282 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: because the news broke yesterday and we were all appalled, 283 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: you know, just like you. I was equally appalled, and 284 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: it was earlier in the week I had received a 285 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: text message from several different border agents sending me pictures 286 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: and videos of stocked warehouses pallets of baby formula. These 287 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: agents themselves have families and they have family members that 288 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: can't get this baby formula in the stores in Texas 289 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: and Arizona, New Mexico. Yet they go to work and 290 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: they're unloading palettes of baby food out of the back 291 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: of tractor trailers. It's outrageous. If you have to sum 292 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: it up, this is exactly what America last looks like. Meanwhile, 293 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: moms across the country are panicking they can't get their 294 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: hands on formula. And as you said, forty percent across 295 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: the country is out. In my state, close to fifty 296 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: percent of baby formula is out, and that's in Florida 297 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: and several other states. How did the government get their 298 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: hands on all of this formula when our moms here 299 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: in America, they're here legal or here illegally, can't get 300 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: their hands on the formula because we have a policy 301 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: now with this administration where Americans do not come first. 302 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: White House this morning went on of course CNN, and 303 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: they were asked the White House had their representative come 304 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: out talking about the baby formula administration, and Brian Deese 305 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: actually confirmed today that they were aware there was going 306 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: to be a problem back in February shortage well as 307 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: a as a parent and with friends and colleagues, we 308 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: was aware that people were starting to have trouble in stores. 309 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: But we were aware of this from when the FDA 310 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: had to take its action back in February with Abbott 311 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: and with the steps in the Michigan facility. And we 312 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: have had a team on this from the FDA and 313 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: Invercy process since then. And the steps that I mentioned 314 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 1: are steps that have been taken over the course of 315 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: multiple weeks and are ramping those up. And I believe 316 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: the first complaints about this facility happened last fall I 317 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: don't think the FDA started interviewing whistleblowers until maybe December 318 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: or so. Of course, as you noted, the recall started 319 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: earlier this year, and so I'm wondering if the sentence 320 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: of the White House is that the DA moved quickly 321 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: enough on this issue. Well, those are independent scientific judgments 322 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: that I will leave to the FDA. What I can 323 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: tell you is that they took action to put in 324 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: place that recall, and we have been working closely on 325 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: this issue in the wake of that recall to try 326 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: to address the attendant impacts of that. If the President 327 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 1: does use the Defense Production Act, should we have seen 328 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: some lawmakers, including Democrats, say that he should hear Do 329 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: you think that's something that could happen? I mean, these 330 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: people are insane. They're sitting there. They knew this was 331 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: going to be a problem. They knew they were whistle 332 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 1: blowers at this plant. They knew they were going to 333 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: take it offline. And instead of sending food that you 334 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: can't buy to American citizens, you're sending it to a 335 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: legal immigrant to the border, because we're putting them before 336 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: American citizens. White House Press secretary won't say if the 337 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: White House actually could have done more to stop this problem. 338 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: It does seem like we should have seen this coming, 339 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: that maybe the FDA could have done more on the 340 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: baby formula shortage. The whistle blower who used to work 341 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: at that Sturges plant warned the FDA top officials about 342 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: safety concerns in October, but they didn't interview that was 343 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: a blower until December, and the inspection wasn't nil January thirty. First. 344 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: The recall happened February seventeenth. So it is that timeline 345 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: acceptable to the White House? And if not, what is 346 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: the White House doing to correct that? At the FDA, 347 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure there will be plenty of time to take 348 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: a look at if there are any issues that could 349 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: have been improved here. I don't have any specific analysis 350 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: of that at this moment in time. So you guys 351 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: knew there was a problem, you didn't listen to the 352 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: whistle blower. Then you finally came in, and then it 353 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: took you months to actually start the investigation, then months 354 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: to do the recall on the baby formula, Right, that's 355 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: what you're saying. But she won't say if Biden could 356 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: have done more in the nationwide baby formula shortage. No, 357 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: why would I say anything about that? Why we should 358 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: have seen this coming? Maybe the FDA could have done more. 359 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: Should you have seen this coming? Should the FDA have 360 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: done more? Should you guys have been warned? Should you 361 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: have been paying attention? White House now considering invoking the 362 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: Defense Production Act on baby formula for a problem that 363 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: they already knew existed. Yes, we're exploring every option. I 364 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: think when you look at the Defense Production Act, you 365 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: have to ensure that would actually achieve what you're trying 366 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: to achieve, and so we're also looking at that as well, 367 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: and we have been working This is one of the reasons, obviously, 368 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: the President called CEOs today of some of these vital 369 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 1: companies to determine what more can be done, because we 370 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: know that with one major supplier having part of their 371 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: supply off the marketplace, one of the easiest and fastest 372 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: ways to address that is to increase supply from some 373 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: of the other suppliers and also to import more, which 374 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: is a step we're working to take as well. He 375 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: didn't happen to ask him to invoke the Defense Production Act? 376 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: Did they? When I'm not aware of that being a 377 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: specific ask from them, I can see if there's more 378 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: to read out from the from the calls as well. Okay, 379 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: so just to be totally clear here, to be completely clear, 380 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: you knew there was a problem, you knew the problem 381 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: was coming, you were slow to act on the problem. 382 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: Then you knew when the whistleblower made their complaint that 383 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: there was probably even a bigger problem, right, And the 384 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: bigger problem got even bigger, and then you guys finally 385 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: shut down production, and then you knew that thirty forty 386 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: percent of production of the entire country was going to 387 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: go offline, and you still did nothing to hedge this, 388 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 1: to fix it, to prevent this catastrophe. And then while 389 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: people were telling you there's a problem, you guys still 390 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: to this day have not acted. You're still trying to 391 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: figure it out. Oh when Jen Psaki's got some great 392 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: advice for you as a mother or a father out 393 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: there that's trying to keep your child alive. If you 394 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: can't find baby formula, they told you to go call 395 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: a doctor. In other words, good luck now. This baby 396 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: formula shortage I also think brings up the bigger picture here, 397 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: and it's I think very clear they just don't really 398 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: care about you and They don't care about what you're 399 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: going through. Look at energy prices right now, surging. This 400 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: is hurting a lot of people. Energy prices are up 401 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: forty three point six percent. Are they trying to fix it? No, 402 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: Utilities in general up twenty two point seven percent. This 403 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: is coming from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics April numbers. 404 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: Electricity is up eleven percent and fuel costs fuel oil 405 00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: up eighty point five percent. Eighty point five percent. These 406 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: are the same people that mandate the shutdown of the 407 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: whole economic system. They spent trillions of dollars, sent people 408 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: checks to not work, to stay at home, which did 409 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: nothing to stop COVID. Now we have record high inflation 410 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: and the people in charge are surprised. They shouldn't be. 411 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: These are morons that are getting to rule over us. 412 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: Now that's not the only thing. You Look at what 413 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: they're doing on oil and gas right now. Gas prices 414 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: yesterday hit a new national record and what did Biden 415 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 1: do in response? And this is the fact, So understand 416 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: they're doing this on purpose, intentionally, They're not stupid. Gas 417 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: prices hit new record highs over five fifty five a 418 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: gallon for diesel and four fifty eight a gallon for 419 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: unleaded And what did Biden do the day that both 420 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: unleaded and diesel gas hit at all time new high 421 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: record high for the entire country. Ever, he canceled oil 422 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: and gas leases in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico 423 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: on more than a million acres of land on the 424 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: same exact day. If you excuse me, if you think 425 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: that this isn't intentional, let me say that again. If 426 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: you think this isn't this is not being done intentionally, 427 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: you are stupid. They're wanting to make the American family 428 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: week so that you're dependent on the government for your survival. 429 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: Baby formula shortage is just one example. Inflation and rising 430 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: prices another example. They want you to be forced into 431 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: submission on traveling on bus or trains, or car pooling 432 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: or buying an electric vehicle. They don't care that you're 433 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: paying record prices at the pump, because if they did, 434 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: they sure as hell. On the same exact day that 435 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: we hit new records in both categories, Biden canceled oil 436 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: and gas leases in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico 437 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: and more than a million acres on the same day 438 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: that we hit these all time highs. You know, White 439 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: House presecretary still not even admitting really that there's a 440 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: baby formulas shortage. She said, the FDA is working around 441 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: the clock to address any possible baby formulas shortage, implying 442 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: that may not be one. That's how insulting they are 443 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: to you as a parent, as a mother. They actually said, 444 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 1: we are working around the clock to address any possible 445 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: baby formula shortage. It's not a possibility, it is a reality. 446 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: There is growing concern about a persistent supply issue with 447 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 1: infant formula shortage right now. Major retailers is having to 448 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,479 Speaker 1: limit how much people can buy, especially in cuton places 449 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: like Tennessee, Missouri, Iowa. This is partly an FBA issue, 450 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: but it could be a fine administration issue. Just wondering 451 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: if you guys are planning on taking any steps that 452 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: help remedy them. Well, let me first say, as you know, 453 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: but the FDA issue to recall to ensure that they 454 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: are meeting their obligation to protect the health of Americans, 455 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: including babies who of course we're receiving or taking this formula, 456 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: and ensure safe products are available. That's their job, ensuring 457 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: the availability of these products is also a priority for 458 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: the FDA, and they're working around the clock to address 459 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: any possible shortage. Okay, that is like hearing your name, 460 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: your voice on the b on the answering machine, which 461 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: I know that's a very outdated reference, but we've all 462 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: been there. Okay. So what the FDA is doing, which 463 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: while they are independent, they are part of the administration, 464 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: is taking another number of steps to address that includes 465 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: working with major infant formula manufacturers to ensure they're increasing 466 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: production because part of this issue is of course making 467 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: sure their stock on the shelves right and working with 468 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 1: the industry right now to optimize their supply lines product 469 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: sizes to increased capacity and prioritizing product lines that are 470 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: of greatest needs because obviously as someone who my child 471 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: has long been to add of formula fortunately, but it's 472 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: close enough that I remember when you're trying to go 473 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: to the store and get the specific kind of formula 474 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: for your age child or whatever their needs are. So 475 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: they are taking steps with that in mind. They're also 476 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: exercising flexibility and expediting review of notifications of manufacturing changes 477 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: that will help increase supply, particularly in the case of 478 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: specialized formula, so that applies to that as well for 479 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: medical needs. And they're also trying to streamline import entry 480 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,239 Speaker 1: review process processes for already notified formula products coming from 481 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: notified foreign facilities. So what they're trying to do in 482 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: the shorthands of it is increased supply by working with 483 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: a range of manufacturers and what their capacity is to 484 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: ensure that the kinds of formula that was recalled is 485 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: where they're able to help insure it's on the shelves. 486 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: Might be a problem, right, We're working around the clock 487 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: to address any problem. When'd you know there was a 488 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: problem When we knew there's a problem technically last year, 489 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: and then we knew there was another problem when we 490 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: put a recall out and shut down a factory way 491 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: earlier this year. Nebraska mom says it's just become impossible 492 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: to find baby formula, and she's not a conservative. At 493 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: eleven months, Jacob Bowman's formula is still a big part 494 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: of his diet. He has a very specific brand new 495 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: Tramagin that he has to have due to allergy and 496 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: intolerance issues, and lately Jacob's mom, Shauna, says she hasn't 497 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: been able to find it out the store. We have 498 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: been having to look pretty heavily for it, I would say, 499 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: for the last four or five months, but this last 500 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: month it's just become impossible to find. So four or 501 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: five months, all these mothers have known there's a problem, 502 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: which means that the FDA knew there was a problem, 503 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: which means the Biden administration knew there was a problem. 504 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: It's becoming impossible to find baby formula. That's what they 505 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: want you to know. A good morning America. Saying it 506 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,479 Speaker 1: this way this morning, a terrifying prospect for parents around 507 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: the country. Stores running out of baby formula, unable to restock. 508 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: He has a very specific brand new Tramagin that he 509 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: has to have due to allergy and intolerance issues. Yeah, 510 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: no big deal, right, intolerance issues. Another story, another parent, 511 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: and you can hear it right there, Jacksonville mother, I 512 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: cannot feed my son due to baby formula shortages. According 513 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: to Retail Analytics company Data Assembly, inventory of baby formula 514 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: available was down about a third in April because of inflation, 515 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: supply chain issues, and recalls, and for families whose options 516 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: are further limited by allergies, the situation is especially precarious. 517 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: Ashley Olson says her nine month old baby has to 518 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: have a specific formulas she orders straight from the manufacturer, 519 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: and there's no word on when it will be available again. 520 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: I can get Amazon delivered to my door, but I 521 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: cannot get food for my child. I cannot feed my son. 522 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: Don't worry. The Biden administration is on it. If there 523 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: is a possible shortage. They're still not admitting the shortage. 524 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: They're saying, if there is a possibility of a shortage possibility, 525 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: then we're looking into it. Four or five months they've 526 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: known about this, but now they're still saying it's a possibility. 527 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: If there's a possibility. But hey, at least we got 528 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: crack pipes out there for free, and then we'll say, 529 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: your conspiracy theorists, if you actually get one of the 530 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: free government crack pipes, don't forget.
