1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: I want you to imagine getting up tomorrow and having 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: this conversation, where did all the workers go? That is 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: the conversation that apparently is going to be taking place 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: in LA, and they're hoping it's going to spread to 5 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: every city in America. This is over eleven thousand LA 6 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: workers are planning to strike. Their actually goal, as they 7 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: put it, was to quote shut down the city. More 8 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: than eleven thousand Los Angeles City employees they say, are 9 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: going to participate in the one day strike, saying that 10 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: they believe this will shut down the city and then 11 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: people will finally start paying them and taking them and 12 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: their demands seriously. Now, this is part of what we've 13 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: been witnessing around the country where workers groups, those that 14 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: are looking to unionize, and others just say, hey, we 15 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: just won't work, we won't show up to work. You 16 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: have the Screen Actors Guild right now and the writer's 17 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: doing the exact same thing, refusing to work, and so 18 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 1: they get their new deal that they demand. But take 19 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: a listen to what they had to say from ABC 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: News seven in LA about this worker's strike and why 21 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: they're hoping that it's going to go viral to other cities. 22 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 2: In the country. 23 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 3: Some LA City workers are getting ready to go on 24 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 3: strike for twenty four hours. More than eleven thousand workers 25 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 3: plan to walk off the job tomorrow. Employees including sanitation workers, 26 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 3: heavy duty mechanics, traffic officers, and engineers. We'll pick it 27 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 3: outside places like Lax and Los Angeles City Hall. The 28 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 3: union SEIU seven to twenty one represents more than ninety 29 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 3: five thousand workers across sokel. Union officials say the city 30 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 3: isn't bargaining in good faith. They add this strike comes 31 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 3: at a time when the city has a more than 32 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 3: twenty percent job vacancy rate across departments. 33 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 4: Well, we're all throughout the entire city, whether it's Lax, 34 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 4: animal services, sanitation, the parks, I mean, you name it. 35 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 4: We have also hundreds of jobs classifications all throughout the city. 36 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 4: You know, we have a mayor that's incredibly supportive of 37 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 4: working people. We've got some great folks and allies on 38 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 4: city Council. Unfortunately we have some out of touch city administrators. 39 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 3: Mayor Bass released a statement saying, quote, city workers are 40 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: vital to the function of services for millions of Angelinos 41 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 3: every day and to our local economy. They deserve fair 42 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 3: contracts and we have been bargaining in good faith with 43 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 3: SEIU seven twenty one since January. The city will always 44 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 3: be available to make progress twenty four hours a day, 45 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 3: seven days a week. 46 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 2: That actually isn't the case. 47 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: If they all don't show up for work and they 48 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: get their way, right, they get what they want here, 49 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: which is to shut down the city. That's this worker's plan. 50 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: Pick it for twenty four hours outside of city Hall, 51 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: outside of the Los Angeles International Airport and other locations 52 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: to protests. They refusal to bargain in good faith. Now, 53 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: this is what happens when unions start taking hold, and 54 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: this is exactly what happened in this country back in 55 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: the eighties when the unions and the union bosses got 56 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: too powerful. 57 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: You can then hold cities hostage. 58 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: Now, unions have lost a lot of their political influence 59 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: over the last couple of decades. That's been well documented. 60 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: But the unions are smart. They're trying to figure out, 61 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: how is it that we can get people back. Obviously 62 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: through government workers is an easy way. This is also 63 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: part of their plan to try to unionize fast food workers. 64 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: They try to bust up Starbucks with unionization, and the 65 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: list goes on and on. But what you witness now 66 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: is you have people that are willing to shut down 67 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: entire cities. Part of what they want during the shutdown 68 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: is they want anarchy and they want chaos. They're holding 69 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: you hostage, not for a better contract, but really when 70 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: it comes to the issue of safety, there have been 71 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: many people that post online hoping that the other workers 72 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,279 Speaker 1: that don't show up for fire and police and the EMTs, 73 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: they are wanting there to be this to be basically 74 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: controlled anarchy as in charge of it. And then finally 75 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: a city will say, Okay, we can't operate or function 76 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: this way, so therefore we'll let you have whatever the 77 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: hell it is you want. Now, let's go back to 78 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: the Fight for fifteen. You may remember the Fight for fifteen, 79 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: which was part of the unions trying to expand their 80 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: payrolls by going into fast food workers and saying. 81 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 2: Hey, we're going to get you more money. 82 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: You need to demand a quote living wage, a fight 83 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: for fifteen, a fight for twenty, right, whatever they decide 84 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: the living wage is that day. 85 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: And they said, if we all. 86 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: Do this together, we'll get incredible results. Right, We'll get 87 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: what we all demand. The problem is that's been met 88 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: with new technology. You look at stores, there's now Walmarts 89 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: where there's not a single cashier. There are now Kroger 90 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: grocery stores without a single cashier. It's all self service. 91 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: You now have these boards that you automate when you 92 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: order it. Places like Wendy's and McDonald's and Taco Bell. 93 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: And they basically that if you as workers want to 94 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: try to hold us hostage this way, that's fine, you 95 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: can do it. We're willing to play the game with you, 96 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: but we're not going to be held hostage with you 97 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: when you think that you own us. Now, if I 98 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: was one of these individuals, if I was a part 99 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: of this group, I would absolutely if I owned one 100 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: of these business if I'm being held outage that way, 101 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: I'd be all right, see you later, right like I'm 102 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: done with you, see ya, goodbye. I'm not going to 103 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: sit here and I'm not going to have this conversation 104 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: with you. And you think that you can hold me 105 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: hostage this way, it will not happen. That is now 106 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: what's happening in LA And if you shut down the 107 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: city as they're planning on doing, and doing it for 108 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 1: twenty four hours and you start to get looting and 109 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: riding an anarchy, and you start to have things that 110 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: basic needs and necessities and aren't being met. I believe 111 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: that with all the liberals in LA, they'll probably cave 112 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: to their demands and then they can hold the city 113 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: hostage indefinitely. 114 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: This is going to grow. I want you to know. 115 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: I think this is going to grow, probably in a 116 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: way that will shock many, and I think it will 117 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: become an election your issue. They're going to demand different things, right, 118 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: That's just what they're gonna do. They're gonna demand certain things. 119 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: They're going to demand. Uh, these you know the Democrats 120 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: agree to certain terms, agree to giving them certain things, 121 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: all right, and if you don't, then you're not gonna 122 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: they're not going to support you in the election process 123 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: as a Democrat. That's going to be the pandering aspect 124 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: of this. Put it on your radar screen. These unions 125 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: they are figuring out, this is the new way to 126 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: do it. You give anarchy, you make people go crazy. 127 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: Uh in a town, you get the workers not to 128 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: show up, you hold them hostage, and then once all 129 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,799 Speaker 1: of that happens, you win. Because the other side, they believe, 130 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: will finally just say, okay, I can't, I can't take 131 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: this risk. There's too many people that are angry, there's 132 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: too many people that are frustrated, there's too many people 133 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: that are screaming. 134 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 2: And this is part of the playbook. 135 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: If you go back with Black Lives Matter, black Lives 136 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: Matter threatened the same thing. If you don't give us 137 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: what we want, if you don't put Black Lives Matter 138 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: everywhere on the football helmets, we'll come after the NBA, 139 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: will come after the NFL, We will come after anybody 140 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: that doesn't play game with us. That is part of 141 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: what has happened throughout this process, and these unions learned it. 142 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: Really. I think from Black Lives Matter. 143 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: Recently that you can burn down a city, but if 144 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: you have the right name next to your cause, right 145 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter, then no one's going to arrest you 146 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: for committing those crimes. You can jump on cars and 147 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,239 Speaker 1: police cars and attack and burn down police and city 148 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: halls and churches, and no one is going to stop you. 149 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: In our government, that's what being held hostage looks like. 150 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: And now, if you can shut down an entire city 151 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: for twenty four hours as your way of quote bargaining 152 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: with the other side, that is a hostage crisis situation 153 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: that is not negotiating in good faith. This is why 154 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: we need to make sure that we elect people in 155 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: this next election to understand just how big of a 156 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: threat to society unions really are. They are threatening our society, 157 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: our way of life. They are threatening the private sector 158 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: with unrealistic things as well. That's part of it. These 159 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: mandates and these demands for X number of dollars. I'm sorry, 160 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: it is a huge problem now. Now this is also 161 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: a problem, by the way, for Joe Biden, because there's 162 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: a lot of Democrats that feel like they're not getting 163 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: enough free stuff right now from a president that was 164 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: supposed to give them a lot of free stuff. He 165 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: also lied and misled the voters when he said he 166 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: was going to pay off your student loans. He knew 167 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: he wasn't going to be able to do that, but 168 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: it was a way to buy votes in a tight election, 169 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: and it worked. And he hasn't paid off on that, 170 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: and that's the reason why the president's approval rating is 171 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: at the lowest of any president except for Jimmy Carter.

Now there's a 195 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: real big problem for Joe Biden, and that is no 196 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: one seems to be excited about him in the Democratic 197 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: Party and his approval rating as the lowest of any 198 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: president except for Jimmy Carter. Listen to what they had 199 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: to say about what's going on now with the president 200 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: within his own Democratic you know followers. Meanwhile, President Biden 201 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: has focused seeing this week on selling Viidynamics out wes. 202 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 2: What are his challenges? 203 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 5: Well, you're right, he's going to go to Arizona, New Mexico, 204 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 5: and Utah to talk about the advantages of his program, 205 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 5: particularly the Inflation Production Act as climate spending. 206 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 6: He wants to claim. 207 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 5: Credit for and improving economy. We're seeing a real disconnect 208 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 5: for him because a lot of indicators are actually much 209 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 5: better today than they have been. Right, whether it be inflation, 210 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 5: gas prices, immigration, crime, A lot of these indicators are 211 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 5: off their peak or are much better in some ways 212 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 5: than they had been a few months or a year ago. 213 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 5: But the one indicator that's not changed is his approval 214 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 5: rating and in fact his competitive status against Donald Trump 215 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 5: if he's the Republican nominee. 216 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 6: Our poll that was Santa College last. 217 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 5: Week found that the president's still at that thirty nine 218 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 5: percent approval rating. I think the average on five thirty 219 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 5: eights around forty one percent. That's the lowest of any 220 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 5: president at this stage going back to the history of polling, 221 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 5: except for Jimmy Carter that didn't work out well for him, 222 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 5: and our poll also showed him tied forty three percent 223 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 5: to forty three percent with Trump. Now, what they hope 224 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 5: is that over time that will be a lagging indicator 225 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 5: that as people become more confident about the economy and 226 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 5: consumer confidences, as people feel the impact of his policies, 227 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 5: they hope his numbers will begin to rise as well well. 228 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 6: And we'll see that that's happened in the past. 229 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 5: Reagan, Clinton, Obama had terribly in their midterms and actually 230 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 5: came back and won pretty convincing reelections. 231 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 6: That's what Biden is hoping for here. 232 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 2: Beat. 233 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 5: What do you think that disconnect or that lag is 234 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 5: attribut to attributor two. Well, one of the things, of course, 235 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 5: is the environment has changed so much since the days 236 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 5: of those past presidents, right, there used to be something 237 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 5: of a you know, allowance on the part of at 238 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 5: least some people for the president of the other party. 239 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 5: But today are we're locked pretty tightly in our polarized spaces. 240 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 5: There's no president who's getting fifty five, sixty seventy percent 241 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 5: of the approval rating for any sustained period of time 242 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 5: as there used to be back in the day of 243 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 5: Reagan and Clinton and so forth, and. 244 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 6: So you're locked into a smaller pool of voters that 245 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 6: you can appeal to. 246 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 5: For Biden, it's about getting those Democrats and independence back 247 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 5: voted for him in twenty twenty, don't like President Trump 248 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 5: or President Trump, and making them feel more confident in 249 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 5: his leadership. Part of this issue, of course, something he 250 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 5: can't do anything about, which is his age. That's, according 251 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 5: to polls, a considerable factor for a lot of voters. 252 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 5: But they're going to tell people, look, yeah, okay, he 253 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 5: is the age he is, but he's not Donald Trump. 254 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 5: And remember how much he didn't like him two years ago. 255 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 5: You should think about that in two years from now 256 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 5: or a year and a half. 257 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: And now you can hear it very clearly. They are concerned. 258 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: They are really concerned about what this means for Joe 259 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: Biden moving forward. There are a lot of people, I mean, hell, 260 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: he got lost at the White House again on video 261 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: as the Houston Astros. Right, they won the World Series. 262 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: We're at the White House where their you know, meet 263 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: the President. They're playing We Are the Champion music, and 264 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: the President doesn't know where to go. He's in charge. 265 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: It's his event, right, it's his event, folks, He's in charge. 266 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: It's his house, it's where he lives, and he literally 267 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: doesn't know where to go afterwards. That is a problem, 268 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: and they know it. You can downplay it, you can 269 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: act like it's not a bit big deal, but it is. 270 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: And having an approval rating of this slow and look, 271 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: this is what they're hoping for. They're hoping they can 272 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: take out Donald Trump. Okay, they're hoping that Donald Trump 273 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: will be indicted and be such damaged goods by the 274 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: time that the deep State gets done with him that 275 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: there's no other way to I mean, there's you know 276 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: that people say I can't vote for Donald Trump again, 277 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm sick of him, and they'll vote by default for 278 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. You know, there's also other real issues happening 279 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: right now where Joe Biden is showing massive weakness. Let 280 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: me let me give you an example. There was a 281 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: Chinese and Russian vessels that got extremely close to the 282 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: United States of America, right next to Alaska, where they 283 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: weren't supposed to be. 284 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 2: And what did Joe Biden do. 285 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: Not a damn thing, because he's compromised we know, by 286 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: the Russians financially, and he's compromised by the Chinese now financially. 287 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 7: Listen you op presidential candidate Nikki Haley, a former ambassador 288 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 7: to the United Nations and former South Carolina governor in 289 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 7: messer HELI good to have you, as always, Thank you 290 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 7: very much for being here. Jack Keen calling this the 291 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 7: most dangerous threat to the United States since World War Two. 292 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 7: And you saw Michael Waltz there seeing that four ships 293 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 7: to the area is a weak response. What would you 294 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 7: do if you were president of the United States in 295 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 7: this moment. 296 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 8: Well, they're both right, but I will tell you China 297 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 8: has been planning war with the United States for years. 298 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 9: This is no surprise. This didn't just happen. 299 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 8: This has been happening for years, and presidents just haven't 300 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 8: taken it. 301 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 9: Seriously enough. 302 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 8: You know we saw I'm glad to see they at 303 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 8: least sent four ships this time. 304 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 9: You know what I said last time. 305 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 8: Is when the Russian drone or when the Russian plane 306 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 8: hit our US drone, absolutely nothing happened. We haven't seen 307 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 8: anything happen from the Biden administration. We need to be 308 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 8: showing strength. This is in response to the fact that 309 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 8: we and our allies had been doing exercises in the 310 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 8: Taiwan Strait and over near the South China Sea. But 311 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 8: what they are trying to do is now intimidate us. 312 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 8: We don't need to fall for it. We don't need 313 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 8: to run. We need to continue to be strong. Biden 314 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 8: continues to show weakness. He did that by sending blinking 315 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 8: China came out and said it was a great meeting. 316 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 8: And what came out of that they said that they 317 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 8: would have committee meetings based on the fentanyl flow. No, 318 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 8: you don't have committee meetings based on fentonal flow. You 319 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 8: say we will stop ending normal trade relations with you 320 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 8: until you stop killing Americans. You know, you've got the 321 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 8: fact that then Janet Yellen went and said we should 322 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 8: do more business with China, not less, and we should 323 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 8: be competitors and we should play by fair rules. That's naive. 324 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 8: China doesn't play by fair rules. 325 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 9: They never have. 326 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 8: They don't see us as a competitor. They see us 327 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 8: as an enemy. And then you have John Carey going 328 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 8: and saying, oh, let's focus on the environment, that's really 329 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 8: what we need to be focused on. Well, that just 330 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 8: makes them laugh at us. And so this is the 331 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 8: time where we need a president that's going to say, no, 332 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 8: we're not just going to deal with trade like Trump did, 333 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 8: or no, we're not just going to ignore it like 334 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 8: Obama did. 335 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 9: We need to say we're going to look at it 336 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 9: from all aspects. 337 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 8: Let's stop them buying us soil and let's take back 338 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 8: what they've already had. Let's stop the flow of fentanyl. 339 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 8: Let's stop the money going into our universities. Ninety percent 340 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 8: of our law enforcement drones come from the Chinese. 341 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 9: Why is that? 342 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 8: How stupid are we to allow things like this to happen. 343 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 8: Quit sending technology to China that strengthens their military and 344 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 8: weakens the US, and let's modernize our military. 345 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 9: Let's get focused as a. 346 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 8: Country and go and show these countries that are threatening 347 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 8: us that. 348 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 9: We're back that hasn't happened. 349 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 8: That's why Russia is strong, That's why China is on 350 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 8: the march, that's why Ron's building a bomb, and that's 351 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 8: why North Korea is testing ballistic missiles. 352 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 2: All Right, I want to get started. 353 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: By the way, everything that Nikki's Haley said there, she's 354 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: absolutely right on. This has been happening for far too long. 355 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: They're showing strength while we are showing incredible weakness. Right, 356 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,239 Speaker 1: they're showing this. You know, we're going to stop at 357 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: nothing to do these things, right, that's I mean, that's 358 00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:58,959 Speaker 1: that's their moo. 359 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 2: Now we're going to do what we have to do. 360 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 2: You know these other countries. 361 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: Actually better way of putting is we're gonna take and 362 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: do whatever we want to do because we know that 363 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: your president won't stop us. 364 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 2: We own him, he took our money. 365 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,959 Speaker 1: Russia owns Joe Biden, we know that because of the 366 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: cash and auspicious active reports. China we know owns them 367 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: as well, for the same exact reason. It is incredibly, 368 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's unbelievably brutal how weak our response has been. 369 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: And it's not because I think Joe Biden is this 370 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: week or incompetent Okay, there's some people that want to 371 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: say that, and that's like the you know default position. Well, 372 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: he's an idiot here, he's weak. He's been around a 373 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: long time. The people around him that are in this country, 374 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: they've been around a long time. There's a reason why 375 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: we're being so weak. There's a reason why we didn't 376 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: shoot down that Chinese balloon. It wasn't because we were 377 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: afraid that was going to hurt people on the ground. Okay, 378 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: that's that's that's not the reason why, as it's been stated, 379 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: the reason why we didn't shoot down that balloon is 380 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: real simple. China I believe has something on him, and 381 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: China knows that they can control him. And China knew 382 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: they could fly that balloon over the US, get all 383 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: the intelligence, hover do everything they wanted to do, and 384 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: then we would shoot it down after the mission was complete. 385 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 2: And that is what happened. 386 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: We allowed them to do everything that they wanted to do. 387 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: Every day, there are two different economies that are growing 388 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: bigger and bigger. One of them is powered by everyday 389 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: Americans who are sick and tired of all the woke 390 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: propaganda being jammed into every product that we're consuming. 391 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 2: Well, big mobile companies are no different. 392 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: For years, they've been dumping millions and millions into leftist causes, 393 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: including planned parenthood.

You know, there's also Democrats now that 415 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: I think are witnessing and watching all of this weakness, 416 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: and they understand that it's going to come to a 417 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: head with the President of the United States of America 418 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: at some point. I think there's some Democrats that think 419 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is not going to be as easy 420 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: to be as some have tried to imply. One of 421 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: those is Democratic Representative Dean Phillips. Dean Phillips was unfaced 422 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: the nation and Dean Phillips was asked about, Hey, are 423 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: there other Democrats that are looking at maybe getting in 424 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 1: this race last minute against Joe Biden based on him 425 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: having the lowest approval rating of any president outside of 426 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter. Here's what he had to say and saying, yeah, 427 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: there are there are quite a few well positioned primary 428 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: challengers to Biden if they decide to pull the trigger. 429 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 2: Welcome back. 430 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 7: We turned out of Minnesota Democratic Congressman Dean Phillips, who 431 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 7: might in fact be able to answer a question he's 432 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 7: given some energy to. 433 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 9: Are you going to run for president against Joe Biden. 434 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 10: Well, Major, I have not decided yet, but I will 435 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 10: tell you. I am here. And I lost my dad 436 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 10: in Vietnam in nineteen sixty nine, lived with my great 437 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 10: grandparents for two and a half years. My mom was 438 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 10: twenty four and widowed. Was adopted when I was three 439 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 10: by an extraordinary dad into a remarkable family. I know 440 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 10: little something about living on both sides of advantage, and 441 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 10: I woke up the morning after the twenty sixteen election, 442 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 10: the one you just spoke about, saw fear in my 443 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 10: daughter's eyes, my two daughters. I recognized at that moment 444 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 10: that millions of Americans have had that same fear for generations, 445 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 10: and I promised them I would do something. I ran 446 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 10: for Congress, and I ran a campaign that was about 447 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 10: everybody being invited. That was my slogan. I listened to Democrats, Republicans, independents, 448 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 10: and I discovered that everybody wants the same thing everybody. 449 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 10: We want to be safe. We want to have security, 450 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 10: both economic and otherwise. We want opportunity, and we want unity. 451 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 10: Serving our country in Congress has been a joy. I 452 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 10: know you don't hear that toalk, and it has been 453 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 10: a joy. And I've discovered that everybody in the middle. 454 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 10: The massive majority of Americans are sick of entertainment telling 455 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 10: us we're more divided than we really are, of members 456 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 10: of Congress, state houses attacking each other instead of attacking problems. 457 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 10: They want their families back, their friendships back, their communities back. 458 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 10: They want unity, and I want to give voice to them. 459 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 10: And then secondly, I want to give voice to Democrats. 460 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 10: I'm a lifelong passionate Democrat inspired by Hubert Humphrey and 461 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 10: Martin Luther King. Democrats are telling me that they want 462 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 10: not a coronation, but they want a competition. The New 463 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 10: York Times poll from this week shows fifty five percent 464 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 10: of Democratic voters want some alternatives to the current people 465 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 10: in the primary, eighty three percent of those under thirty 466 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 10: democrats under thirty want alternatives, and about seventy six percent independence. 467 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 10: So I just want to make my case. 468 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 2: When are you going to decide? 469 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 10: I think, well, let me get to my point. Okay. 470 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 10: So if we don't heed, I've giving you some room, 471 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 10: Yes you have. If we don't heed that call, shame 472 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 10: on us, and the consequences I believe are going to 473 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,239 Speaker 10: be disastrous. So my call is to those who are 474 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 10: well positioned, well prepared, of good character and competency. They 475 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 10: know who they are to jump in because Democrats and 476 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 10: the country need competition. It makes everything better. That's my 477 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 10: call to them right now. 478 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 9: So if they don't, you will. 479 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 10: I'm not saying I will. I think I'm well positioned 480 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 10: to be president of the United States. 481 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:14,959 Speaker 9: You do. 482 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 10: I do not believe I'm well positioned to run for 483 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 10: it right now. People who are should jump in because 484 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 10: we need to meet the moment. The moment is now. 485 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 10: That is what the country is asking. 486 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: You know, the last thing he said there, I'm not 487 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: well positioned right now. There's others that are better positioned 488 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: than I am to run, and they should run. 489 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 2: But if they don't, then I might. 490 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: This is what you're starting to hear from a lot 491 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: of Democrats right now. They're unhappy with Joe Biden. He 492 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: lied to them, not about barisma. They don't care about that. 493 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: They don't care about it their son's business dealings. Really, 494 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: that's not at a pivotal point yet for Democratic voters. 495 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: It's just not because I think a lot of Democratic 496 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: voters are fine with corruption and government. They're fine with 497 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: Joe Biden being on the tank. What they are upset 498 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: about is what is the lack of and if it's 499 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: the lack of free stuff, right, the lack of you said, 500 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: if I voted for you're going to pay off thirty 501 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 1: grand in my student debt and forty grand of my 502 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: wife's right, you were going to pay for all of 503 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: these things that you said that you were going to, 504 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, pay for and you never did you promise 505 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: me that. Now, I do think the economy is really 506 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: starting to hurt democrats and independent voters and they're starting 507 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: to realize it's not getting any better. Right, this is 508 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: you can't blame COVID anymore for this, Right, you can't 509 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: blame this you know, Oh, it's I inherited it anymore. 510 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: It's now Joe Biden's crisis. It's Joe Biden's problem. And 511 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: people are feeling like this guy's not getting it done. 512 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: They're feeling like he's not understanding what people are going 513 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: through right now. They feel like he just has kind 514 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: of taking them for granted, and it's not getting better. 515 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 1: Price at the pump is back up again. If you 516 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,239 Speaker 1: noticed that it's been itching back up even in the 517 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: in the cheaper areas, it's above three dollars a gallon. 518 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: It's getting up in the fours and fives out on 519 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: the West Coast and the East coast. Those things combined 520 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: with a high price of good and services. 521 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 2: The high price. I mean, I looked today. 522 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: I'll give you a great example, Gurriedo's, and this is 523 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: just a random product, and I saw it today. The 524 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: large family size bag of Dourdo's had printed on the 525 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: actual bag six ninety nine. That's seven dollars for a 526 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: bag of Guredo's. That used to be three ninety nine. 527 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 10: Right. 528 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: It used to be you could get those large bags 529 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: two for six, right, three dollars apiece if you bought 530 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: two there. Now, I mean, that's when even I look 531 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: at my grocery bill and go, what is going on? 532 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: When you can't take your family out to eat at 533 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: an average restaurant. I'm not talking about a good Restauran'm 534 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: talking about average restaurant. When you can't take your family 535 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: out to an average restaurant for under a hunter bucks, 536 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: and that's not drinking alcohol, that's just straight. 537 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 2: Up food costs. 538 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 1: It's it's it's becoming a really big problem, and it's 539 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: becoming a liability for Joe Biden this economy, saying that 540 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: the economy is not bad when the clearly the economy 541 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: is bad. Right when you act like things are good 542 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: when things aren't good, and the economy you claim is 543 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: great and Bidenomics is great and it's doing it and 544 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: people know and they're insulted by it. I think if 545 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: there's any promise that he didn't pay off on, that 546 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,479 Speaker 1: maybe his achilles heel with With a lot of voters 547 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm talking about, they might not vote for a Donald 548 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: Trump or a Dysantis or whoever ends up getting it. 549 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: I think it's probably going to be Trump. I think 550 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: it's pretty clear. That's that's where we're you know, the 551 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 1: line that we're on right now. But I think that 552 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: there is a lot of Americans that at this point 553 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: are saying, all right, I may not vote for Trump, 554 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: but I'm not going to vote for you either, because 555 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: because you lied to us and you didn't do what 556 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: you were you said you were going to do, you 557 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: didn't you didn't do what you promised you were going 558 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: to do. And Joe Biden has been out there trying 559 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: to tell people that the economy is great. 560 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 2: The economy is not great. People are hurting. We know 561 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 2: that people are hurting. 562 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi said, you know, Republicans won't impeach Biden because 563 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: the economy is doing great, Like that's psycho and a lie. 564 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 2: She said that on MSNBC. 565 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: It was dumb when she said it, But that's even 566 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: how bad their own talking points are. You know, Joe 567 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: Bahar on the View said this, which was just absurd 568 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: on the View. 569 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 2: Listen, Let'm gonna say. 570 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 11: Something about Joe Biden. According to what I'm observing, the 571 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 11: economy is booming, Inflation is down, the stock market is 572 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 11: doing well. People are having an easier time putting bread 573 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 11: on the table, et cetera. He doesn't seem to be 574 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 11: getting the credit for that, only forty one percent approval. 575 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 11: Is it because they think he's old? Because I don't 576 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 11: see anything else they can point to with him, particular questions. 577 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the view, right, They're like, well, he 578 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: deserves credit because things are so good. You notice the 579 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: audience didn't clap when she said that, because the audience 580 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: was looking at each other going, what the hell world 581 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: is she living in? The economy is not doing well? Right, 582 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: The economy is not good. It's a disaster for many 583 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: Americans are feeling it. They're living paycheck to paycheck. It's 584 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: not good. And when you say things like that and 585 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: you try to spin it, you can try to spin it, 586 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it's true, it doesn't mean it's accurate, 587 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that it's honest. And Americans are feeling this. 588 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: And this is why I'm saying right now, pay attention. 589 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: It's no longer just a Biden crime family. That's the 590 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: problem for them. It's all the other things that I 591 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: just mentioned, and it's a big problem I think now 592 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: for this president and Democrats are now saying, do we 593 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: need to make a big switch. I wouldn't be surprised 594 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: if you start seeing some new game names coming out 595 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: in the very near future.
