1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: All right, thanks Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you. 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: Toll free. It's eight hundred ninefold one sean you want 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. Our friend Kerry 4 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: Pickett over at the Washington Times has a pretty interesting 5 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: article out. Democrats have been planning this a long time. 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: I mentioned it last week that the Biden White House 7 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: is now fortifying their legal and political defenses against this 8 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: onslaught of this new wave of investigations because Republicans won 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: the House. I keep telling people that they're not grasping 10 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: quite yet the power of that victory. It's massive. I mean, 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: the power for committee assignments, the power of the purse, 12 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: the power to subpoena, deciding what the agenda is. It's 13 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: not everything you'd want, but it's certainly important anyway. So 14 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: as part of this fortification Democratic allied groups now, Kerry 15 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,279 Speaker 1: Picket points out, they've now unleashed and this is all 16 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: very predictable, an aggressive op research operation to dig up 17 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: anything unflattering, any accusation against the House. Republicans investigating Biden 18 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: is it's back to the vast right wing conspiracy and 19 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: to smear and to slander and to smirch and attack 20 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,639 Speaker 1: anybody that dares ask any questions about Joe Biden, hunter Biden, 21 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: or about the deep state, the FBI, whether it's politicized, 22 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: whether the DOJ's weaponized anyway. The effort is designed to 23 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: obviously discredit, distract from the congressional investigations targeting Biden, and 24 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: it was launched Monday with recycled accusations against the Republicans, 25 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan, especially James Comer of Kentucky, and one of 26 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: the three organizations intent on protecting Biden by going on 27 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: the offensive. Our groups called I guess in the next 28 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: Congress is facts first. Anyway, it's just just buckle up 29 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: because this is what they're gonna do. They haven't had 30 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: a spokesperson that said that to the Washington Times that 31 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: the opposition research is not geared towards pushing the lawmakers 32 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: out of Congress before twenty four, but by pushing back 33 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: on the hypocrisy of those doing the investigation and or 34 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: Republican leadership for their choices. And they said that the 35 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: hypocrisy includes Jordan and Comer leading the charge on a 36 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: lot of this when they're accused of covering up abuse 37 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: and assaults, etc. Etc. That's not what it's about. I mean, 38 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: this is just pure you know, bared knuckles, you know, 39 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: brawling in Washington. Interesting comment from Adam Schiff of all people, 40 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: that he may defy the January sixth GOP House of 41 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: Poena if he deems it illegitimate. We'll have to look 42 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: at the legitimacy. Like what their January sixth committee was 43 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: so fair. Everyone on the committee voted to impeach Trump 44 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: post a post presidency. Everyone on the committee, you know, 45 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: avoided the big tough issues. The goal should have been, 46 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: if you really care about safety and security of elected 47 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: officials in our institutions, which should have been their top goal, 48 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: then they would have cooled up with plans to prevent 49 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: such a thing from ever happening again. They would have 50 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: investigated more deeply those people. Apparently a lot of intel 51 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: that was available that they had on different people in 52 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,839 Speaker 1: groups that had planned to raid the capital that day, 53 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: and they didn't make use of it. You know, they 54 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: would have brought in the capitol police chief that requested 55 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: the National guards six times. They would have brought in 56 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: the mayor who in writing decline the national Guard troups. 57 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: They would have brought in the head of security for 58 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: the House and the Capitol. And that's Nancy Pelosi and 59 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. They would have brought in the Sergeant of Arms. 60 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: None of those people who ever brought in it was 61 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: it was always about demonizing Donald Trump at all costs. 62 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: So you know, this is what the Democrats do, this 63 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: is what they do best, and this is what will happen. 64 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: What they have is a problem, though, is that the 65 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: information in the Hunter Biden laptop. They're going to have 66 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: a hard time overcoming the news that will be coming 67 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: out on that. The facts are going to matter here 68 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: and the idea that Joe Biden on tape repeatedly denied 69 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: ever having any knowledge of Hunter Biden or his feign 70 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: business dealings and associates. And yet you see picture after 71 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: picture after picture of Joe and Hunter and his business partners, 72 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: and you have meeting after meeting after meeting that is chronicled. 73 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: That's that's gonna be very transparent to the American people. 74 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: They were told one big lie. And then you're gonna 75 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: have to ask an important question, why were these foreign 76 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: countries paying this kid. He's not even a kid, he's 77 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: fifty years old, fifty one, whatever it is, You know, 78 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: why were they paying him so much money when he 79 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: had so little expertise in any of these areas, be 80 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: it energy or real estate or finance. And the amount 81 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: of money is staggering. And if Joe Biden knew, is 82 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: Joe Biden compromised by China, Rush, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, et cetera, 83 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: et cetera. All of this now is going to be 84 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: in play, so they can try, as they might to 85 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: destroy and assassinate people's characters. You know, that's part of 86 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: the Washington game. Um, but I don't think that's going 87 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: to be as effective as I think it is. But 88 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: time will tell. Maybe maybe the American people won't care. 89 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe they will care. Um, this was 90 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: a strange thing. Now, what's a score? By the way, 91 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: in this, uh soccer game? I'm not a big soccer fan. 92 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: US has one? Do you wait? Say that again? Let's 93 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: say it on air. So the US has one, the 94 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: US has won. What does a rand have? Zero? Zero? 95 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: All right, Well, at least they scored a goal. That's 96 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: a good thing. Okay. How much time they started? What 97 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: an hour and twenty minutes ago? Yeah, they're forty nine 98 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: minutes in Okay, so, I mean, it's really possible if 99 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: you have to take into account any of the extra 100 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: time that they have to account. By the way, what 101 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: can you explain the extra time thing? Because they make 102 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: it up as they go, don't they. It's like all 103 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: it's like all the stoppages for injuries and such, and 104 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: there's there's been a lot of stoppages, okay, but there's 105 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: not a set time in the end, is there? Uh No, 106 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so. You're always 107 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: you're always gonna have a few minutes of extra time. 108 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: Some games are more than others. So Iran's terrorist government. Now. 109 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: I talked about this yesterday. In China, people are rising 110 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: up holding white pieces of paper in reaction to the 111 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: draconian shutdowns of President Chi. With the latest COVID breakouts 112 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: in China, we now have had all over Iran, the 113 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: protesting going on. A woman who refused to dress follow 114 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: the dress code was killed in prison, and they've had 115 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: deep unrest all throughout Iran. From every indication we have, 116 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: there is a is a rebellion against Vladimir Putin. And 117 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: I don't even think he thinks he's safe. By the way, 118 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: I apologize for coughing today. I don't know what I have. 119 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: I know I don't have COVID, by the way, but 120 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: I got this thing going on and it's been brutal, 121 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: but hopefully it's on its last legs. I'm trying to 122 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: knock it out. But anyway, in Iran, so we got 123 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: the access of evil all now dealing with civil unrest, 124 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: and that by my biggest fear, and I've stated it 125 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: many times in the last two years, is this alliance 126 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: with Russia and China and Iran in the middle of 127 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: this that that is just not good for the world. 128 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: But in the absence of real American leadership on the 129 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: world stage, they're looking to fill the void. China certainly 130 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: wants to be the leader of this, and there's no 131 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: telling what president she is capable of, as he's been 132 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: involved in a massive military build up now going on 133 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: for many, many years. But anyway, so in the lead 134 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: up to this soccer game, not to get distracted, the 135 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: government of Iran, the Mullahs of Iran, the Ayatolas, anyway, 136 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: they're out there saying operators from their military have threatened 137 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: to imprison and torture the family of the Iranian World 138 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: Cup soccer players if the players don't behave during their 139 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: highly anticipated match against the US and Cutter that is 140 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: going on now what forty seven minutes into this game, 141 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: and members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard monitoring the behavior 142 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: of Iran's national team conveyed the threat in the meeting 143 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: with players. According to a source closely watching the activity 144 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: of Iranian security agencies inside a Cutter, there's been a 145 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: lot of criticism as to why the World Cup is 146 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: even being held in Cutter. Then there's all this, you know, 147 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: complaining that why we're having a soccer game in a 148 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: country that barely lets any booze or beer in a stadium, 149 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: and that's pissed a lot of people off. Then they 150 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: have strict rules outlawing people. I don't know high outlawed. 151 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: But anyway, you can't bring like a rainbow flag and 152 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: make a statement about gay and lesbian rights in Cutter, 153 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: so that people are literally being arrested for that. It since, 154 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: but anyway, there are sources saying that the Iranian National 155 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: Guard Revolutionary Guard, you know, called the players into a 156 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: meeting after the players refused to sing Iran's national anthem 157 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: in their opening match against England. And apparently they were 158 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: all told that they're going to be monitored and that 159 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: their families will face violence and torture if they refused 160 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: to sing the national anthem. Wow, all that for a 161 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: stupid soccer game. You know, I was for Linda. You 162 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: don't know this about me, do you know? I played 163 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: soccer in high school. I did not know that. I 164 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: never played soccer before. But they made me play soccer. 165 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: Why because I was a good athlete and I played. 166 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: I was a pitcher in baseball. It made me play 167 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: in the basketball team too, and I didn't want to 168 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: play there either, better than soccer. But then because I 169 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: could run, they made me the center half back. It's 170 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: the worst position in soccer. Well, the worst position in 171 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: soccer is probably playing defense, because then it's just the 172 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: hard this position because you're backing up all the time. 173 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: I'd rather be on offense, trying to score goals, like 174 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: I like being a center when I played ice hockey 175 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: because I'd play both ends of the puck and i'd 176 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: grab the puck and be able to have a chance 177 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: of scoring goals. I used to love scoring goals. So anyway, 178 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: so I played soccer. But you know I was the 179 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: center halfback. I'd have to play offense end defense and 180 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: that's a lot of extra running. And then I'd take 181 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: a cigarette break in between periods. In high school, I 182 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: swear we did that. You worst sport to do that. 183 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: I mean cigarette smoke during during a soccer match. Really, 184 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: I'm just keeping it real. I'm just being honest. That's 185 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: what happened. In between innings, we'd be pitching. We'd keep 186 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: the side door open. The bathroom was right there, go 187 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: in between innings because, by the way, that's what the 188 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: old you know, professionals used to do. Like me, then 189 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: it was a different time. It was a different time. Really, 190 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: it's a different error. China is using internet porn to 191 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,599 Speaker 1: block coverage of the rioting that's going on in their country, 192 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: apparently spamming Twitter with post about porn and escorts in 193 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: an apparent attempt to block news about the widespread protesting 194 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: all over the country against these draconian COVID lockdowns. Anyway, 195 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: users searching for major Chinese cities that have seen mass demonstrations, 196 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: like Shanghai and Beijing, mostly we'll see ads for escorts 197 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: and porn and gambling, drowning out legitimate search results. You 198 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: got to give them credit. I mean, they thought of 199 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: a creative way to suppress information. But anyway, Biden is 200 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: a mom on all of these protests. Why is that 201 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: you ever think about this? You know, if you remember, 202 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: go back to Tianamen Square, and that's the last incident 203 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: where I can think of where the communist Chinese government 204 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: where the people stood up to them, and you have 205 00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: this iconic image. It's video of this young man standing 206 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: in front of a tank and the tank would move 207 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: to the right to try and run over this kid, 208 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: and then the kid would move in the direction of 209 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: the tank and move to the left. And if the 210 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: tank then moved to the left, and the kid would 211 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: move to his right and stand in front of the 212 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: tank even further. I mean it's almost like that. But anyway, 213 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: you would think that the president of the United States, 214 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: there have been reports that they're even quoting Patrick Henry 215 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: give me Liberty or give me death, might have something 216 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: to say for the people that are bravely taking on 217 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: these tyrannical governments and maybe offer a little bit of 218 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: solidarity and hope that maybe they can have a better 219 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: life instead of the tyranny under which they are living. 220 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: You know, you could stand up with women's rights when 221 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: you stand up against d Ran. You can stand up 222 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: for innocent people not wanting to fight Putin's war in 223 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: Ukraine by offering solidarity with them. But maybe if your 224 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: last name's Biden and your family syndicate made millions and 225 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: millions of dollars, who deals with your son who at 226 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: the time was using crack and like hookers, you know, 227 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 1: maybe you're not in a position to criticize them because 228 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: of fear of what they might have on your family. 229 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: Just the thought maybe maybe maybe too deep for the 230 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: liberal mob to comprehend. If you roll along eight hundred 231 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: and nine one sean, if you want to be a 232 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: part of the program. A lot of people in the 233 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: media mob, oh this, this is outrageous. Now, these are 234 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: the people that now have gone through Russia, Russia, Russia, 235 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: stormy stormy stormy Trump Trump Trump, never ending, never ending impeachment, investigation, 236 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: witch hunt, witch hunt, witch hunt, and and still to 237 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: this day and now another special prosecutor, two impeachments that 238 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: we have um so rasp music as a poll out 239 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: that two thirds of likely voters do support Republican efforts 240 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: to investigate Hunter Biden smoking on laptop, including evidence found 241 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: on the hard drive indicating the entire Biden family, and 242 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 1: as Congressman James Comer said, this is about the president. 243 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: This is an investigation into the president. In other words, 244 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: the president lying to the American people repeatedly saying and 245 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: no knowledge of any of Hunter Biden's farm business dealings, 246 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: which we knew was not true from the get go, 247 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: because no vice president would ever go to Ukraine leverage 248 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: a billion dollars and say you're not getting it unless 249 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: you fire the prosecutor, who turns out was investigating his 250 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: son being paid millions with no experience at all whatsoever. Anyway, 251 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: so sixty one percent of voters in this poll believe 252 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: it's likely, including forty four percent it's very likely that 253 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden was in fact consulted and profited, likely from 254 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: his son Hunters overseas business deals, including at least one 255 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: involving a company in mainland China. By the way, that 256 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: would be the biggest pay to place handle that I 257 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: can think of in American history. If that all proves 258 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: to be true, which I believe, the evidence is going 259 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: to be pretty compelling and pretty overwhelming. Anyway, three quarters 260 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: of people don't think Biden was consulted. But the three 261 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: quarters of people have no idea that we have photographic evidence. 262 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: We have Hunter in his own words, implicating his own 263 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: father on the laptop, and it explains, you know that 264 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: Dove tails nicely into the Jim Jordan Judiciary Committee investigation 265 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: into you know, why didn't the FBI do anything with this? 266 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: Have they been politicized? Is the djbing weaponized? They keep 267 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: talking about Trump issues. This is going to be Biden's 268 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: issue America desserts and know the truth about Congress. All right, 269 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: twenty five to the top of the hour, toll free, 270 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: It's eight hundred and nine four one sean if you 271 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. So this 272 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: is all over the news today. I'm looking at this 273 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: particular story from the Daily Mail, and Linda, I want 274 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: you to weigh in on this. So first, Lady Jill 275 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: Biden unveils the White House Christmas decorations as of yesterday, 276 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: featuring stockings over the fireplace for eight Biden grandchildren, and 277 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: then they go on to list them, but the four 278 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: year old daughter that Hunter Biden had out of wedlock, 279 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: and I'm not getting into his personal life honestly. I mean, 280 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: the crack thing is a little hard to get over 281 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: because that's evidence on video of him breaking the law, 282 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: and the FBI didn't even lift an eyebrow, which I 283 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: doubt would happen if you were a Republican child, and 284 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: not even a child. He's fifty years old. But they 285 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: so he has his daughter, but they didn't put a 286 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: stocking out for that daughter, in other words, the one 287 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: that he had. You know, this is the second year 288 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: in a row. Should you think that's the right thing 289 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: to do, because I why don't they just put up 290 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: a stocking for the kid. It's a kid, you know, 291 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: the kid's not responsible for what the parents did. I 292 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: think any children we can keep away from the bidens 293 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: to stop the corruption. I'm all in, do not put 294 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: a stocking up for that child. So you're you're actually 295 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: you're making it all. I'm all in, keep that sild away, 296 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 1: keep that child. This is the man that sniffs babies 297 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: and little kids and stairs through windows. I would like 298 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: to say all children creepy. Isn't the word, oh creepy Joe? 299 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: But um, I don't know. I mean it would seem 300 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: that they might I don't know to me, it just 301 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: feels like you're leaving this poor kid out. They're deadbeat 302 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: dad's deadbeat family. They're just gross. But at the end 303 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: of the day, that child, at the end of the day, 304 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,719 Speaker 1: he lost that and I think that a paternity test, right, 305 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: But they had to fight him. But it's not the child. 306 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: But the point is, it's not the child's fault. It's 307 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,959 Speaker 1: never the child's fault, right, It's always the grown up 308 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: screwing it up. But if we can save her from them, 309 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: let's do it. So you think it's more important to 310 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: keep her away from the bidens than to be If 311 00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: I could remove all children from their premises, I would wow. 312 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: It creeps me out. Are so hardcore. I'm not when 313 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: it comes to kids and animals. I'm all in. You 314 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: can screw up anything else, leave the kids and the 315 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: animals alone. There's something wrong with you anyway. Last week, 316 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: Karine Jean Pierre insisting Biden had been directly involved in 317 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: negotiations to avert this massive, potential nationwide rail strike. Um, 318 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: maybe somebody needs to tell Joe Biden that because forty 319 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: eight hours after the press White House Press Secretary made 320 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: those remarks, Biden then told reporters he is not directly 321 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: engaged yet have been a party. Again, my team has 322 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: been touching the role fortis in rooms with reports. I 323 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: have not directly engaged. Yea, the president is indeed involved directly. 324 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: Just the president has been clearly he's been held as 325 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: he's been brief, but he has actually been directly involved. No. 326 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: I just said he's been direct I said, this is 327 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: a third time I'm saying he's been directly involved, and 328 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: he has been directly involved. Again, the president has been 329 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: directly involved. I just said the president has been directly involved, 330 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: so I could say this, he's been directly involved since 331 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: before there was even a tentative agreement. The president is 332 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: directly involved, as I have said. Okay, the only problem 333 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: is Joe said less than forty eight hours after she 334 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: said that that he's not directly engaged yet. I don't 335 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: know about you, but that was a very kamala esque 336 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 1: type of answer. That was a very word Salady answers 337 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Now, the ramifications of which are severe. 338 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: I don't want the rail strike for anybody's sake. Here's 339 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: what it could do. Now, We're already headed off an 340 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: economic cliff because of everything else that Joe has done 341 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: that was preventable. You know, we didn't have to eliminate 342 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: energy independence. We don't have to make murdering dictator thugs 343 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: like Maduro and MBS rich. Their human rights record is atrocious. 344 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: In the case of Maduro is not even recognized as 345 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: a dui elected leader by our country. But we don't 346 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: even recognize them. But it's okay. Chevron could start drilling 347 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: over in Venezuela. Will make the dictator thug illegitimate president 348 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: that you know, rich as hell. It's like they want 349 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: to make a rand Rich and all these other Middle 350 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: Eastern countries that hate US rich, that have you know, 351 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: long lists of human rights abuses. But anyway, this this 352 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: this could be really really bad. Now if you're a member. 353 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: Back in September, fake news CNN, we went back in 354 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: the archives. You know, Biden's big rail strike victory tour 355 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: was in September because they reported quote President Joe Biden 356 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: proclaimed a huge win for rail workers and organized labor Thursday, 357 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: after his administration broke it a tentative a deal with 358 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: the freight bosses on a long sought improvements of working conditions, 359 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: averting a possible disastrous strike. The President's intervention, including calls 360 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: with union leaders and bosses, and the direct critical run 361 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: up to the deal on Wednesday night, helped lift the 362 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: threat of a dispute that could have had serious consequences 363 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: for the economy and still roaring inflation. Now that Biden's 364 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: landmark rail strike deal has unraveled like a cheap suit, 365 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: what we're now facing. As many as seven hundred and 366 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: sixty five thousand Americans might be put out of work 367 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: in just the first two weeks of a rail strike, 368 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: according to even the White House acknowledging this, which also 369 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: said that parts of the country could lose access to 370 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: chemicals that clean drinking water and feed for our livestock. 371 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: Now this stoppage could cost the US economy, according to estimates, 372 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 1: more than two billion dollars in lost output per day. 373 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: According to an analysis by the Association of American Railroads, 374 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: President Biden bank Congress now a Monday to step in 375 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: to prevent the potential rail strike, and to do it 376 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,479 Speaker 1: before Christmas, after key union is now voted to reject 377 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: the deal broker by the White House earlier this year. 378 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: So Biden is now begging Congress to bail him out. 379 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: So Joe's out there begging Congress and anyway, So he 380 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: did that late last night, and in a statement, Biden 381 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: said there was no path to resolve the dispute at 382 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: the bargaining table and warned that the rail shutdown would 383 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: devastate the economy. And he said, as a proud pro 384 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: labor president, I'm reluctant to override the ratification procedures and 385 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: the views of those who voted against the agreement. But 386 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 1: in this case, I believe Congress must use its powers 387 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: to adopt this deal. So he's putting it now, his 388 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: deal on the backs of Congress, all right, So let's 389 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: see what happens in the end. He said, this case, 390 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: where the economic impact of a shutdown would hurt millions 391 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: of other working people and families, I believe Congress should 392 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: use the powers. All right. So the five year agreement 393 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: that Biden wants to force upon these twelve union twelve 394 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: union separate unions representing rail workers tenantive, agreed to in 395 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: September following a twenty hour negotiating session. While the eleventh 396 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: hour bargain averted a work stoppage before the election, train 397 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: conductors Brakeman, others represented by the Sheet Metal Air Rail 398 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: Transportation Workers Transportation Division, etc. Had all sins voted down 399 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: the deal along with members of three more unions, and 400 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: then eight of the unions have signed off on an 401 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: agreement which would give workers at twenty four percent raise 402 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars in bonuses retroactive to twenty twenty, meaning 403 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: the average employee would get an immediate payout of eleven 404 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: grand if the deal is ratified. Workers would also receive 405 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: an additional day off, paid leave, and other benefits, etc. Etc. 406 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: But anyway, the deadline for the unions to ratify the 407 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: contract is to December the ninth, but the effects of 408 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: the strike or a lockout could be felt days earlier. 409 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: As many as seven hundred and sixty five thousand Americans 410 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: could be out of work here, I mean, this is 411 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: this is not good now. Even technology companies on top 412 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: of you know, ranchers and everybody else that's going to 413 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: be impacted by this. They're saying the supplies of critical 414 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: semiconductor chips, which we already have a shortage of um 415 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: have now started shifting cargo ships from railroads to trucks 416 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: with National Freight Rail. With the rail strike looming By 417 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: the way, it's going to be good for truckers around 418 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: the country. But anyway, the moves are being made by 419 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: by DHL Global Forwarding, etcetera, etcetera. You know they they've 420 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: got to have Plan B in place anyway, So he says, 421 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: Biden is now saying there's no path forward. Biden is 422 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: now saying Congress has to step in and stop this. 423 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure where Congress is going to be able 424 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: to do if they're not willing to to. That's a 425 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: pretty significant rays. Have I offered all of you twenty 426 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: four percent raise and an eleven thousand dollars check how 427 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: many of you would take it? Would you take it? Linda, 428 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: you would take it. I don't that I would take it? 429 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: Why not? I don't know. I'm just being contrarian. It's fun. 430 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: Oh okay, just do it for the fund. Trying the 431 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: liberal way today. New England's high heating costs exacerbated by 432 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: the federal government. You're expecting prices to heat your home 433 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: this year to go up thirty to forty five. You 434 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: know what that means is people are going to drop 435 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: the thermostats. This is why I so desperately wanted election 436 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: day to be in February, because once people see their 437 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: heating costs go dramatically higher, it's people are gonna get pissed. Anyway, 438 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: Inflation is expected to wipe out Black Friday gains for retailers, 439 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: according to NPR Now. Apparently Black Friday retail sales were 440 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: up significantly and near record inflation now has cast a 441 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: shadow over this year's holiday shopping season, which officially kicked 442 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: off Black Friday, they call it. Higher prices are a 443 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: top reason why retailers are predicting another record spending year, 444 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: But overall, holiday shopping is costing more, and the National 445 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: Retail Federation expects that shoppers to spend between six percent 446 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: and eight percent more than they did last year. And 447 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: that is a higher price than usual, But inflation averaging 448 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: nearly eight percent at the end of October accounts for 449 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: a lot of that. What are the people that live 450 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: in paycheck to paycheck got to do now? Some of 451 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: the toy stores have actually gotten pretty smart and clever. 452 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: They're going to make smaller toys available so that parents 453 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: that are really struggling have something to put under the 454 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: Christmas tree this year. Just sad we put ourselves in 455 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: this position and all of it is preventable. So and 456 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: now the Democrats are trying to secure a year long 457 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: budget deal before Republicans take control of the House, which 458 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: they can't let happen. The House Democrats, they're poys to 459 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: elects election denier. By the way, how ironic, Howkeem Jeffers 460 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: Jem sorry Jeffries to replace Nancy Pelosi anyway, So they 461 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: will vote tomorrow on whether the election denier, Hakeem Jeffries 462 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: will be the Democratic House leader. Since twenty sixteen, Jeffries 463 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: denied the legitimacy of the US elections a total of 464 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: nine times. He called the twenty sixteen election illegitimate, and 465 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: he said artificially made former President Donald Trump the president. Wow, 466 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: imagine if Republicans did this. They've got their own issues, 467 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: And what Republicans haven't figured out yet is when you 468 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: have a small majority and they're gonna have to get 469 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: smart or they're gonna fail if they don't stick together. 470 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 1: I'm not getting involved in this battle over who's going 471 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: to be speaker or not speaker. The overwhelming favorite among 472 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 1: elected officials is Kevin McCarthy. He's certainly better than Minch 473 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: McConnell in my opinion, But putting that aside, any four 474 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: or five congressman, Republican congressman or women, they will have 475 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: the power to alter the agenda. The only way this 476 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: is going to work smoothly is they've got to show 477 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: the American people that they earn the right to be 478 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: in leadership. That means they're gonna have to stick together. 479 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 1: And the together part shouldn't really be that hard. They 480 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: ran on the commitments to America. They ran on securing 481 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: our borders. They ran on energy and dependence. They ran 482 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: on lower taxes, you know. They ran on law and 483 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: order and safety and security and refunding the police. They 484 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: ran on eliminating eighty seven thousand new IRS agents, which 485 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 1: they can defund. They ran on all of these very 486 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: specific things. So they got that agenda. Then they have 487 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: an agenda to do investigative work because of the subpoena 488 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: power that they'll now have. They've announced that they're going 489 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: to have investigations into whether or not the FBI's politicized 490 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: and the DOJ's weaponized. They're going to have investigations into 491 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: Zero Experience Hunter, but more importantly into his father, the president, 492 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: and whether this is the biggest pay to play scandal 493 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,959 Speaker 1: ever in American history. That's going to get very interesting, 494 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: very fast. They're going to have hearings into the origins 495 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen and probably any number of other issues 496 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: that they'll have, and Democrats will focus on Donald Trump, 497 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: which is what they always do. Every second, every minute, 498 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: every hour of every day. That's pretty much what they do. 499 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: It was a poll of registered voters by hovid's Center 500 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: for American Political Studies.

It's close, but he 503 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: wins by two percentage points. The problem is where does 504 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: he win?

Not trying to bring bad news, 514 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: just trying to be realistic.
