welcome back to firebrand that was the scene outside the state of the union at the u.s capitol
00:01:12.420
last evening as joe biden delivered the address on the state of the nation or really the state of
00:01:17.700
his political life and political campaign it certainly had 2024 contest energy more so than
00:01:24.620
a true update as to what was going on with the country kimberly on facebook says she can't tell
00:01:30.140
what's worse the yelling or the whispering terry says definitely the yelling thank you so much for
00:01:36.420
tuning in we are live broadcasting out of room 2021 of the rayburn house office building here at the
00:01:41.160
capital complex in washington dc and thank you for tuning in from south carolina florida massachusetts
00:01:46.600
washington state we're glad you're here i'm going to be breaking down the state of the union what the
00:01:51.500
signals and tells are the various things that joe biden mentioned in his remarks and i thought it was
00:01:56.820
noteworthy that we invited biden to give the state of the union and he did i guess as to the union of
00:02:04.880
ukraine the guy gets there and rather than talking about america first he launches into this big
00:02:13.320
explanation about ukraine and like when you start the state of the union speech by saying it is
00:02:20.740
democracy that is at issue i'm here to give a speech about democracy and i'm starting with a country
00:02:26.120
that just canceled its presidential elections and oh by the way here a bunch of biden's allies are trying
00:02:32.940
to take trump off the ballot so it was interesting take a listen ukraine can stop putin if we stand with
00:02:42.400
ukraine and provide the weapons that needs to defend itself
00:02:48.020
that is all that is all ukraine is asking they're not asking for american soldiers
00:03:02.660
in fact there are no american soldiers war in ukraine and i'm determined to keep it that way
00:03:08.300
but now assistance ukraine is being blocked by those who want to walk away from our world leadership
00:03:17.220
wasn't long ago when a republican president named ronald reagan thundered mr gorbachev tear down this wall
00:03:38.060
a former republican president tells putin quote do whatever the hell you want
00:03:50.120
bowing down to a russian leader i think it's outrageous
00:03:56.140
i say this to congress we have to stand up to putin
00:04:11.240
history is literally watching history is watching
00:04:26.960
my message to president putin who i've known for a long time is simple
00:04:34.420
we're back live i thought this was interesting because trump is going to be able to present
00:04:47.500
in contrast with joe biden four years where vladimir putin didn't invade anyone
00:04:52.060
when donald trump was president even the dictators were on their best behavior
00:04:59.120
you have joe biden creating moral hazard in europe by saying the united states will forever float the cost of this war
00:05:06.160
you know what the war will end when the european democracies want it to end
00:05:10.140
because they're the ones funding the war through the purchase of russian oil and gas
00:05:14.220
and so joe biden trying to lash the future of the united states the future of ukraine i think does
00:05:21.200
our nation a great disservice and i don't really get the sense that independents are going to be breaking for
00:05:27.080
for him on this america tires of this type of war
00:05:34.120
for all the criticism folks want to lodge at mike johnson he at least
00:05:38.440
said to the administration there's not going to be more ukraine money
00:05:41.180
if you're not able to answer the questions about what it is we're trying to win there
00:05:45.260
and there's a lot of divergence of opinion on that even
00:05:49.000
between the united states and ukraine joe biden also had a lot to say about covid
00:05:54.080
remember that thing that caused us to lock up the country destroy lives impact mental health
00:05:59.700
drive people deeper into addiction depression we did all that for something the cdc now says
00:06:05.300
you can just wait until 24 hours after your fever subsides to return back to social contact so
00:06:12.220
just like the common cold or the flu joe biden had a lot to say about covid last night take a listen
00:06:17.440
four years ago next week before i came to office the country was hit by the worst pandemic and the
00:06:26.720
worst economic crisis in a century remember the fear record losses remember the spikes in crime and the
00:06:34.140
murder rate raging virus that took more than one million american lives of loved ones millions left behind
00:06:41.660
a mental health crisis of isolation and loneliness a president my predecessor failed the most basic
00:06:49.500
presidential duty that he owes to american people the duty to care i think that's unforgivable
00:06:55.960
i came to office determined to get us through one of the toughest periods in the nation's history
00:07:01.660
we have it doesn't make new but in the news in a thousand cities and towns the american people are
00:07:11.300
so let's tell the story here tell it here and now america's comeback is building the future of
00:07:26.400
american possibilities building an economy from the middle out in the bottom up not the top down
00:07:31.480
investing in all america and all americans to make every sure everyone has a fair shot
00:07:37.360
we leave no one no one behind the pandemic no longer controls our lives the vaccines that saved us
00:07:45.240
from covid are now being used to beat cancer turning setback into comeback that's what america does
00:07:55.420
we're back live i'm not entirely sure that the claim that the covid vaccine is going to cure cancer is
00:08:06.720
going to particularly age well we continue to discover more and more vaccine injuries that the
00:08:11.680
government is working alongside big pharma to cover up and so i don't know that that's a comeback so
00:08:17.620
much as yet another setback that is compounded by the poor decisions we made to extend liability
00:08:23.160
protections to these vaccine manufacturers during the cares act now kimberly on facebook i'm sorry
00:08:29.880
patricia on youtube says the best part of the night was mtg yelling that's a sentiment i've heard from a lot
00:08:35.580
of people kim on rumble says mike johnson's way better than kevin mccarthy but disappointed he was
00:08:41.720
nodding way too much i don't know i thought mike johnson had a dismissive energy around some of the
00:08:46.560
claims that biden was making kind of rolling his eyes nodding certainly more dis or more respectful
00:08:51.880
i should say than nancy pelosi ripping up president trump's speech which actually as it turns out is a crime
00:08:58.100
and super frowned upon so when things are looking bad for democrats you can always rely on them
00:09:03.760
to return to the the traditional scare tactic that they use around social security and medicare
00:09:10.120
that's how they get seniors to vote against at times their own interests the interest of the country
00:09:14.600
even the long-term health of those very programs joe biden did not spare comment on social security
00:09:23.080
many of my friends on the other side of i want to put social security on the chopping block
00:09:31.020
if anyone here tries to cut social security medicare or raise the retirement age
00:09:50.140
pay more into social security than millionaires and billionaires do
00:09:58.020
republicans can cut social security and give more tax breaks to the wealthy
00:10:07.240
you guys don't want another two trillion dollar tax cut
00:10:16.740
you're not going to cut another two trillion dollars to the super wealth that's good to hear
00:10:21.020
i'll protect and strengthen social security and make the wealthy pay their fair share
00:10:34.740
king saying let this man rest in peace in a nursing home
00:10:38.440
why drag him out to give the state of the union
00:10:41.980
wanting to know why hunter biden was not sitting in the family section
00:10:52.320
these bribes masquerading as business transactions
00:10:56.140
uh joe biden i don't think is going to be running an election on social security and medicare
00:11:02.780
program proposal or idea that would harm those programs if anything we want to ensure their
00:11:07.760
sustainability for the long term for those who rely on them and
00:11:11.240
while there's a lot we can do on medicaid to block grant that program
00:11:16.440
to allow states to have the opportunity to be more flexible
00:11:19.640
and to try innovations to lower the cost of health care
00:11:26.100
is less capable of meeting the needs of the vulnerable
00:11:32.000
illegal aliens onto the medicaid products and states and uh and the like so
00:11:51.660
now the inflation issue is one that dogs the president inflation has been skyrocketing
00:11:59.460
just about every working class family in the country and
00:12:02.680
it's also resulted in changes to how people buy cars buy homes and
00:12:06.640
really execute on the principal factors of their lives
00:12:13.040
inflation is to print more money and give it out
00:12:15.940
i know the cost of housing is so important to you
00:12:21.660
if inflation keeps coming down mortgage rates will come down as well
00:12:31.920
that will give americans four hundred dollars a month for the next two years
00:12:35.580
as mortgage rates come down to put toward their mortgages when they buy their first home
00:13:04.140
when you've brought 10 million people across the border illegally
00:13:12.320
if we create government programs that subsidize these first-time homebuyers
00:13:23.240
that will give us the ability to access capital to
00:13:38.060
when joe biden talks about people who are first-time homebuyers
