The Ben Shapiro Show - Last Chance For Biden? | Ep. 1343

00:00:00.000 This week marks three big budgetary issues for Joe Biden, and he's got a problem on every single one of them.

00:00:21.000 Well, you may have noticed that the Biden administration continues to want to blow out the budget.

00:00:24.000 Now would be an excellent time for you to diversify at least a little bit into something that has never been worth zero.

00:00:29.000 I'm talking about precious metals.

00:00:30.000 Of course, you can see it at the pump, the grocery store and construction costs.

00:00:33.000 Another month of the highest inflation in, what, 15 years?

00:00:37.000 Another month where that paper money you're carrying around is worth less.

00:00:40.000 So what is your plan to protect your savings?

00:00:42.000 You have homeowner's insurance in case of a fire.

00:00:44.000 What insurance do you have in place if inflation sets in further and pushes prices even higher?

00:00:48.000 My insurance plan?

00:00:48.000 Gold and silver from my friends over at Birch Gold Group.

00:01:28.000 Joe Biden is facing down the possibility of a failed presidency, a fully failed presidency.

00:01:33.000 And we are approximately nine months in to his presidency at this point.

00:01:37.000 On every front, he faces crisis.

00:01:39.000 Specifically this week, he faces a serious crisis on the domestic front, on the domestic financial front.

00:01:44.000 This is the place where he was supposed to excel.

00:01:46.000 He can't get his party together.

00:01:47.000 And that is because he is not governing the way that he said that he would be governing.

00:01:51.000 A lot of presidents come into office thinking that their mandate is broader than what their actual mandate is.

00:01:56.000 In 2004, for example, George W. Bush won re-election and he said, well, I'm now the decider and I'm going to push social security privatization.

00:02:02.000 It was actually a good plan, but social security privatization was not what he had a mandate for.

00:02:07.000 He tried to push it, it backfired, and his presidency was basically lame duck from the beginning of 2005 and on.

00:02:13.000 Well, Joe Biden is another president who is like this.

00:02:15.000 He is elected on the basis of being a moderate, of not being Bernie Sanders, and now he's trying to govern like Bernie Sanders in every possible way, apparently.

00:02:23.000 And it has backfired on him in spectacular fashion.

00:02:26.000 We're getting Bernie Sanders without all of the avuncular charm of the grouchy old man shouting at the moon.

00:02:31.000 Now we just have a grouchy old man mumbling into his soup. 0.98

00:02:34.000 So it really has not worked out well for Joe Biden, which relegated him over the weekend to basically mumbling on about what a tough hand he had been dealt at the beginning of his presidency.

00:02:44.000 Here was Joe Biden over the weekend.

00:02:46.000 Take a look at what I inherited when I came into office, when I came into office, the state of affairs and where we were.

00:02:53.000 We had four million people vaccinated.

00:02:55.000 We had no plan.

00:02:56.000 We had I mean, I can go down the list.

00:02:58.000 So, you know, part of it is Dealing with the panoply of things that will land on my plate.

00:03:05.000 I'm not complaining.

00:03:06.000 It's just a reality. 1.00

00:03:09.000 Um, you are complaining and also you're a liar. 0.96

00:03:12.000 So I said this right after the election. 0.77

00:03:14.000 Joe Biden was the luckiest man ever to inherit the presidency.

00:03:17.000 The reason for this is because he didn't campaign.

00:03:19.000 He wasn't alive.

00:03:20.000 He was campaigning against the most unpopular politician in modern American history.

00:03:23.000 He basically won the presidency on the basis of being a dead body.

00:03:26.000 And he was inheriting the end of a pandemic, vaccines that worked, An economy that had been going great guns before the artificial coma of the pandemic itself, which was not caused solely by the pandemic, but largely by government policy in response to the pandemic.

00:03:41.000 A baseline of massive spending had already been set up for him.

00:03:44.000 There's no president who's inherited a situation more likely to succeed than Joe Biden.

00:03:49.000 We were at a low ebb.

00:03:50.000 It was like when Barack Obama took over and he could look at the fact that we had a stagnant economy and we had just faced this major financial crisis and he could say that anything that happened from here on in was him and everything bad was his predecessor.

00:04:02.000 Joe Biden basically had the same ability.

00:04:04.000 He was going to get this natural rebound in economic growth.

00:04:07.000 Everybody knew that it was going to happen.

00:04:09.000 A natural rebound that should have lasted at least a couple of years.

00:04:12.000 Joe Biden was going to get the benefit of vaccines he did not develop and had nothing to do with developing.

00:04:16.000 He was going to get the benefit of a foreign policy that not only had produced no major wars over the course of the last four years, but also had started producing actual peace agreements in places like the Middle East.

00:04:26.000 What Joe Biden inherited was actually one of the greatest hands any president has ever inherited.

00:04:31.000 He inherited problems that already had solutions to them.

00:04:36.000 As always with his career, he could jump in front of the parade that was already moving without him, stand in front with the baton, and pretend that he was leading the thing.

00:04:45.000 He was really lucky.

00:04:46.000 But somehow he has blown all of that.

00:04:48.000 And the reason he has blown all of that is because he has decided to pursue radical policy on nearly every front.

00:04:52.000 And not just that.

00:04:53.000 When you pursue radical policy, and also you are perceived as both incompetent and senile, that is never a good look.

00:05:00.000 And by the way, when I say he is perceived as incompetent and senile, not by me only, I mean, yes, but also by apparently the American public.

00:05:08.000 A majority of Americans now say that President Biden is not mentally sharp, according to a new poll from Pew Research Center.

00:05:14.000 The survey, which like other polls, shows Biden's overall approval rating sinking, found that just 43% said the phrase mentally sharp describes him either very well or fairly well.

00:05:24.000 An 11 point drop from the same poll in March.

00:05:27.000 56% then said that the phrase describes him, well 56% now say the phrase describes him as not at all well or not too well.

00:05:35.000 This was his worst showing in any of the personal characteristics surveyed.

00:05:38.000 So nearly 6 in 10 Americans say that he is not mentally sharp.

00:05:42.000 The other four and ten Americans are not mentally sharp themselves apparently because I'm wondering what are the symptoms of being mentally sharp if you are Joe Biden?

00:05:50.000 And all of this just underscored what was going on with Joe Biden's crisis underscores him personally.

00:05:55.000 This is what I say about the difference between a gaffe and actual political crisis. 1.00

00:06:01.000 A gaffe is where you say something stupid. 1.00

00:06:04.000 A political crisis is where you say something stupid and underscores your entire political program. 1.00

00:06:08.000 If you are on the verge of being perceived as senile and incompetent, and then you pursue a bunch of policy that makes no sense, it's just going to underscore your personal characteristics, senile and incompetent. 0.99

00:06:19.000 And that's what's happening with the American public right now.

00:06:21.000 So this means that this week matters an awful lot to Joe Biden.

00:06:24.000 This is basically a make or break week for Joe Biden in the financial sphere.

00:06:28.000 We'll get to that in just one second.

00:06:30.000 Let us talk about a simple fact.

00:06:31.000 You are paying too much for your cell phone coverage.

00:06:33.000 Stop paying for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile's social initiatives.

00:07:33.000 Okay, so Joe Biden is now facing down a bunch of fiscal issues all hitting at the exact same time.

00:07:39.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, Joe Biden is headed into a tumultuous week, along with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

00:07:45.000 A slew of high-stakes deadlines will collide on Capitol Hill this week, setting up potentially chaotic negotiations against a backdrop of expiring government funding and the threat of a possible U.S.

00:07:53.000 default.

00:07:54.000 Even by the standards of a Capitol used to operating under pressure, this week's maelstrom of legislative and fiscal crosscurrents is setting the stage for an extraordinary sprint.

00:08:03.000 Democratic leaders are trying to shepherd two complicated legislative packages, A roughly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill and a sprawling health care education climate package whose proposed $3.5 trillion price tag and contents are still under intense debate within the party.

00:08:17.000 So those are two issues, right?

00:08:18.000 You've got the bipartisan infrastructure bill, which is about a trill, and that is going to pass because it has support in the Senate of the United States from some of the quote unquote Republican moderates.

00:08:27.000 But the reason the Republican moderates were going to pass that is because they were not pairing it with this $3.5 trillion bill.

00:08:33.000 The problem for the Democrats is that a bunch of progressives in the House are saying, we're not going to support the bipartisan infrastructure bill unless you support the $3.5 trillion bill.

00:08:41.000 And a bunch of moderates in the Senate are like, nope, we're not going to do that.

00:08:43.000 We're going to support the bipartisan infrastructure bill, but not the $3.5 trillion price tag.

00:08:48.000 So basically, you now have a prisoner's dilemma.

00:08:50.000 In which the progressives and the moderates inside the Democratic Party are at wit's end.

00:08:53.000 They are at a standoff right now.

00:08:55.000 The moderates want precisely the opposite of what the progressives want and there's not really a great way of bridging that gap unless you have serious presidential leadership, which you don't because Joe Biden is a vacuum at the top of the United States government.

00:09:06.000 Which, you know, thank God for that.

00:09:08.000 Because the fact is...

00:09:09.000 That if Joe Biden had any leadership capacity at all, he'd be cutting a deal right now, or at least pushing the progressives.

00:09:14.000 But he is not, because he is an empty vessel who has decided that his greatest legacy for the future is going to be ramming through spending, no matter what it takes, because he understands that he is a one-term president.

00:09:24.000 At the same time as both of those issues, which really ought not be paired, have been paired by Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, right?

00:09:31.000 They're pairing these two issues for no reason other than the progressives want them paired.

00:09:34.000 They don't have to be paired.

00:09:35.000 The Democrats could today pass that $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package.

00:09:39.000 Nancy Pelosi could bring that up for a vote in the House and it would pass. 0.99

00:09:42.000 It would, because presumably they'd get enough votes from House Republicans to put it over the top, even if the progressive Democrats didn't go along with it.

00:09:49.000 The problem she has is that she also wants to pass that giant $3.5 trillion bill. 1.00

00:09:54.000 And the moderates in the Senate don't want to do that.

00:09:56.000 So she's trying to wrap this all up in a ball and saying you only get one if you get the other.

00:10:00.000 But that's not going to work because Republicans are going to filibuster that giant $3.5 trillion infrastructure package, forcing the Democrats to use reconciliation and Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, the so-called moderate senators from West Virginia and Arizona, have said that they are not on board with that.

00:10:13.000 She's trying to pair them on behalf of the progressives when she should be trying to separate them on behalf of the moderates. 0.90

00:10:18.000 And that would solve all the problems.

00:10:19.000 Because there is a third problem, which is that the Republicans are not willing to raise the debt ceiling so long as Democrats are going to use reconciliation in order to ram through the $3.5 trillion package.

00:10:29.000 Republicans are saying, listen, you want to raise the debt ceiling?

00:10:31.000 Fine, do it.

00:10:32.000 You have to pair it with your $3.5 trillion package and see how that goes for you.

00:10:36.000 See if Manchin and Sinema are willing to go along with raising the debt ceiling and the $3.5 trillion and then own it.

00:10:43.000 Democrats don't want to own it. 0.99

00:10:44.000 They want Republicans to vote along with them on raising the debt ceiling.

00:10:47.000 Republicans are saying, we're not going to do that unless you jettison this $3.5 trillion plan.

00:10:53.000 So you have basically the end of a Quentin Tarantino film, right?

00:10:57.000 It's reservoir dogs.

00:10:58.000 Everybody just pointing their guns at each other.

00:11:00.000 And it's just a question of who fires first.

00:11:03.000 At the same time as all this is happening, the government's funding is set to expire 12.01 a.m.

00:11:06.000 on Friday, October 1st.

00:11:07.000 That would partially shut down the government if Congress doesn't act.

00:11:10.000 Lawmakers are feuding over who's responsible for raising the debt limit and avoiding a potentially catastrophic default.

00:11:15.000 Absent swift action, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen notified Congress this month Treasury may be unable to keep paying all of the government's bills on time during October.

00:11:22.000 So first of all, whenever there's a government shutdown for any period of time, the media will lose it and no one else does.

00:11:27.000 Because everybody who's an essential worker gets their back pay.

00:11:30.000 There's no chance that the government remains shut down for an indefinite period of time.

00:11:34.000 Eventually, the government always gets funded.

00:11:37.000 Always and forever.

00:11:38.000 Whether it is raising taxes, or whether it is passing another bill, they are going to do something to get the government funded.

00:11:46.000 The government will always be, it's just a question of the delay.

00:11:49.000 And the media always try to talk up government shutdown as though people are dying in the streets and it's zombie apocalypse out there.

00:11:54.000 We've been through several of these at this point.

00:11:56.000 And the only thing that happened is that Barack Obama, last time around, actively shut down a national park that was in the outdoors, in the open air, to piss off World War II veterans so that we could pretend that anyone cared about the government shutdown.

00:12:07.000 In reality, the number of people who cared about the government shutdown, on a realistic level, was close to zero.

00:12:12.000 But the media care deeply about it because it's how they leverage everybody into just going ahead with massive government spending that blows out the deficit.

00:12:21.000 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, quote, this the next few days will be a time of intensity.

00:12:27.000 Which is always a frightening line from Nancy Pelosi.

00:12:30.000 We'll get to that in a second.

00:12:36.000 And the recent surge of Haitian immigrants at the southern border.

00:12:39.000 We will also get to that in one moment.

00:12:41.000 Because Biden is facing crisis on pretty much every front.

00:12:44.000 I mean, literally every front.

00:12:45.000 Like in Afghanistan, on the southern border, and domestically.

00:12:49.000 The Senate is expecting to vote Monday evening on a measure extending the government's funding through December 3rd, 2021, and suspending the debt limit into December 2022.

00:12:58.000 It's expected to be blocked by Republicans, leaving the matter unresolved.

00:13:01.000 Democratic leaders have not spelled out what their next step will be, but Pelosi reiterated Sunday the government would not go into partial shutdown.

00:13:07.000 She said Democratic leaders are preparing to bring up a short-term spending patch, which has bipartisan support, to avoid that outcome.

00:13:13.000 So Republicans are saying, fine, you know, we're not going to raise the debt limit, but what we are going to do is fund it for the next couple of weeks.

00:13:20.000 We'll fund it for the next couple of weeks, because then it's up to you.

00:13:22.000 Right, we've given you the time to go work this out on your own, but we are not going to green light a massive increase in the debt ceiling.

00:13:29.000 Democrats are like, well, the debt ceiling is paying for bills we've already incurred.

00:13:32.000 Yes, but you are now asking for taking out a second credit card, and Republicans are just saying no to that until you get your spending under control.

00:13:38.000 It is true that we have to pay off the debt that we have already incurred.

00:13:44.000 But why would I keep extending you a line of credit if you are just going to blow out the credit continuously without getting your house in order?

00:13:51.000 There should be strings attached.

00:13:53.000 Representative Debbie Dingell, Democrat of Michigan, said we're going to shut the government down in the middle of a pandemic.

00:13:57.000 It's the most irresponsible action that anyone can really... I can think of some more irresponsible action than that.

00:14:02.000 Namely, blowing out the budget to the tune of $7 trillion this year.

00:14:05.000 I could imagine that would be pretty irresponsible, considering that we are now facing severe inflationary pressure as well as economic stagnation on the other end.

00:14:13.000 As the Wall Street Journal points out, averting a partial government shutdown this weekend would resolve only one of the handful of complex legislative battles, a partisan fight over raising the debt limit.

00:14:21.000 has started to infuse anxiety into financial markets.

00:14:23.000 Republicans are refusing to vote for a suspension or increase in the debt ceiling, pointing to Democrats' decisions to pass a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill with no GOP support earlier this year and current efforts to pass that $3.5 trillion package of social and climate programs along party lines.

00:14:38.000 Senator Pat Toomey, who is a fiscal conservative, he is the Republican from Pennsylvania, he sits on the Senate's budget and finance committees.

00:14:44.000 He said he might very well vote for a clean continuation of funding so that the government will continue running, but he said there will be no attempt to raise the debt ceiling by Republicans.

00:14:51.000 He said they are in the midst of an absolutely unprecedented, very damaging spending spree on a scale we've never seen.

00:14:56.000 They want us to come along and authorize the borrowing to help pay for it when we are totally opposed to what they are doing.

00:15:02.000 So, the Democrats are trying to blame this on the Republicans, but since they are in complete control of Congress, that's going to be a tough push.

00:15:08.000 We'll get to that in just one second.

00:15:11.000 First, let's talk about the clothes you wear.

00:15:13.000 So, I only wear one type of t-shirt.

00:15:15.000 I'm talking about CUT clothing.

00:15:16.000 CUT, it's super comfortable, it fits you great, it really looks good.

00:15:20.000 I'm telling you, CUT's clothing is the tops.

00:15:22.000 It really is fantastic.

00:15:23.000 If you strive for excellence in every aspect of your life, you need to check out CUT's clothing.

00:15:27.000 CUT's shirts, polos, hoodies, crew sweatshirts, they're made for the man who works hard, plays hard, never settles for less, all in the sport of business.

00:15:33.000 Built for performance in the boardroom, the bar, or the gym, CUT's clothing keeps you sharp wherever the game takes you.

00:15:38.000 Take a plain tee, make a Tony Stark.

00:15:39.000 The bleeding edge of fabric technology meets the man.

00:15:42.000 Confident enough to wear Cuts clothing.

00:15:44.000 Cuts set out to create a fabric uniquely engineered for each clothing style.

00:15:48.000 So for example, they've got the new Cuts hoodie.

00:15:49.000 They developed the Hyperloop French Terry fabric.

00:15:52.000 It's a textile that's temperature controlled and ageless.

00:15:54.000 You don't need to take it off, and you won't want to.

00:15:55.000 Or you can try the wrinkle-free Pika Polo, a design that keeps you fitted for the office, the golf course at home, the gym, or your next hot date. 0.99

00:16:03.000 Again, I pretty much only wear Cuts Clothing at this point.

00:16:05.000 It is just that good.

00:16:06.000 It's not just a lifestyle.

00:16:07.000 It's not just clothing.

00:16:08.000 It's office leisure apparel for the sport of business.

00:16:18.000 The only shirt worth wearing.

00:16:20.000 Okay, so the Democrats are facing down all of this.

00:16:23.000 At the same time, by the way, that transitory inflation seems to be lasting quite a while.

00:16:28.000 Remember that time they kept talking about transitory inflation?

00:16:30.000 Oh, it's transitory.

00:16:31.000 It's going away.

00:16:31.000 It's transitory inflation.

00:16:32.000 Well, it's not transitory inflation.

00:16:35.000 It's pretty severe systemic inflation.

00:16:37.000 And the Federal Reserve is worried about it enough that now they're talking about tapering.

00:16:41.000 They're talking about raising the interest rates, which, by the way, is the only thing that solidified markets last week in the middle of all of this.

00:16:46.000 The markets are looking for some sign of fiscal responsibility from either the Federal Reserve or Congress.

00:16:51.000 Congress has spent the last 20 years basically forcing the Federal Reserve to do all fiscal policy.

00:16:57.000 If they wanted stimulus, they just had the Federal Reserve do it through quantitative easing.

00:17:01.000 If they wanted the markets to tighten up, they forced the Federal Reserve to do it.

00:17:04.000 The Federal Reserve became essentially a financial kingmaker in American politics.

00:17:09.000 Well, now the Federal Reserve is saying, okay, well, I'm noticing that people are a little skittish and we are going to have to taper a little bit.

00:17:14.000 That is because of inflationary pressures.

00:17:16.000 By the way, inflation is the way that you debase a currency.

00:17:19.000 Inflation is the way that you debase people's savings.

00:17:22.000 It's a way that you steal political power from people and bring it towards centralized government.

00:17:27.000 That is agreed upon by people from right to left.

00:17:29.000 Everybody from Frederick Hayek to John Maynard Keynes was well aware that inflation was the way that you destroy an economy.

00:17:36.000 And that is precisely what the Federal Reserve is afraid of right now as well.

00:17:39.000 Meanwhile, Joe Biden's like, OK, fine.

00:17:40.000 Well, if you guys are going to taper, I'm just going to spend.

00:17:43.000 I'm just going to spend.

00:17:44.000 According to The Wall Street Journal, all year, the Federal Reserve's message on inflation has been consistent.

00:17:48.000 This year's surge is transitory.

00:17:49.000 Inflation will soon return close to the central bank's 2% target.

00:17:53.000 Now, first of all, I'm very much against the idea that the central bank should be setting a 2% target on inflation.

00:17:58.000 Why?

00:17:58.000 Because that means that over the course of 20 years, your savings are worth 40% less.

00:18:02.000 I know that we're never supposed to look over the course of 20 years because, as McCain said, in the long run we're all dead.

00:18:07.000 But that's not even the long run.

00:18:08.000 That's the medium run.

00:18:09.000 If the Federal Reserve keeps inflating the currency at 2% a year over the course of 10 years, your money in the bank is worth 20% less than it was when you started.

00:18:19.000 It is a way to force you to spend.

00:18:21.000 That is what it is.

00:18:23.000 It is a way to force you to invest.

00:18:25.000 Savings are bad, according to the Federal Reserve.

00:18:29.000 I'm not in favor of the notion that the Federal Reserve should be setting a standard of inflation.

00:18:33.000 By the way, I don't think the Federal Reserve should have been tasked with full employment as their goal.

00:18:36.000 Since when is the job of a regulatory agency full employment?

00:18:39.000 It should be the job of the Congress to ensure employment if that is what they care about.

00:18:44.000 Although employment is a byproduct of a healthy economy, it is not the goal of a healthy economy.

00:18:48.000 In any case, the Wall Street Journal says, if you look more closely, it's clear officials are turning less sanguine about inflation.

00:18:53.000 That explains growing eagerness to raise interest rates.

00:18:56.000 Last September, long before supply bottlenecks emerged, the median forecast by Fed officials was for core inflation, excluding food and energy, in 2022 of 1.8 percent.

00:19:05.000 Every few months since then, they've nudged that up.

00:19:08.000 In the forecast released Wednesday, they see core inflation next year at 2.3%.

00:19:12.000 While current year forecasts get pushed around by a lot of temporary factors like a jump in oil prices, the next year forecasts reflect where inflation is expected to settle once those temporary factors recede.

00:19:21.000 The message from the Fed's latest projections is that transitory is lasting an awfully long time.

00:19:26.000 Indeed, next year's projected 2.3% is the highest next year core inflation forecast since the projections were first published in 2007, according to Derek Tang of Monetary Policy Analytics, which is why the Fed is accelerating plans to raise the interest rates.

00:19:38.000 The Fed is currently buying $120 billion a month in bonds and wants that to start to fall to zero before it starts to raise rates.

00:19:44.000 On Wednesday, the Fed signaled it would be likely to start tapering bond purchases in November.

00:19:48.000 That means the process would be over by mid-2022, clearing the way for a rate increase.

00:19:53.000 Now, as I've said, inflation is actually not my core worry here.

00:19:55.000 My core worry is that when you regulate business, when you tell business that the government is going to run it, when you say that the entire American economy should run on principles of equity set by the central bank and the government of the United States, What you are going to do is cause stagnation.

00:20:08.000 You're going to get secular stagnation, Japanese style, from the 1990s.

00:20:12.000 Which is, by the way, Joe Biden agrees with that, which is why he has forecast that over the next 10 years, the American economy is going to grow at like 1.5, 1.6%.

00:20:19.000 Those are terrible numbers.

00:20:20.000 Those are very bad numbers.

00:20:21.000 They don't even outpace inflation.

00:20:22.000 You can talk about increase in wage numbers solely due to inflation, but real wages are not going to increase if the economic growth doesn't outpace inflation.

00:20:33.000 But Joe Biden is confident that he's going to spend and he's going to lie to you about all of this stuff.

00:20:38.000 What Democrats really don't want to talk about at this point is who's going to pay for this and what are the actual goals of this policy other than to make the American people more dependent on government.

00:20:47.000 Other than to get the American people into a warm bath and hook them up to an IV and wait for them to bloat themselves to death. 0.93

00:20:53.000 So Joe Biden's just lying now, right?

00:20:54.000 He went out over the weekend, and he says, you know this $3.5 trillion package?

00:20:57.000 People keep saying that's expensive.

00:20:59.000 Well, actually, the cost is zero.

00:21:01.000 Okay, used car salesman, explain to me how a $3.5 trillion spending package from the government, which makes no money.

00:21:07.000 The government is not an independent producer of money.

00:21:10.000 The government of the United States can only make money by selling bonds that eventually have to be paid for by tax dollars or by taxing you directly.

00:21:16.000 That is the only way.

00:21:17.000 The federal government is not a money-making entity.

00:21:21.000 It is a money-printing entity.

00:21:22.000 That is not the same thing.

00:21:23.000 Joe Biden says, however, don't worry, this $3.5 trillion package, it costs, actually it costs zero.

00:21:30.000 We talk about price tags.

00:21:33.000 It is zero price tag on the debt.

00:21:36.000 We're paying, we're going to pay for everything we spend.

00:21:40.000 So they say it's not, you know, people, understandably.

00:21:45.000 Well, you know, it started off at $6 trillion.

00:21:47.000 Now it's $3.5 trillion.

00:21:47.000 Now it's going to be $2.9 trillion.

00:21:49.000 It's going to be zero.

00:21:53.000 Zero, because in that plan that I put forward, and I said from the outset, I said, I'm running to change the dynamic of how the economy grows.

00:22:04.000 OK, that's crazy.

00:22:07.000 So the cost is zero.

00:22:08.000 The cost is zero because he says he's going to pay for it.

00:22:10.000 OK, number one, he's not.

00:22:12.000 He's lying because all of his baseline budgeting for spending goes out over 15 years and all the tax revenue he's talking about is raised over the course of longer than that.

00:22:21.000 It's like a 10-year budget.

00:22:23.000 It's the reverse.

00:22:23.000 It's like a 10-year budget, and then it's like a 15-year tax revenue scheme.

00:22:26.000 And beyond that, he is forecasting tax revenue that is unlikely to occur because of his economic policy.

00:22:32.000 Finally, even if he were not lying, even if his actual plan encompassed the taxation to cover the plan, that doesn't make the cost zero.

00:22:40.000 That makes the cost precisely what the cost is.

00:22:43.000 If I go down to the local grocery store and I buy a gallon of milk for five bucks, That cost me five bucks.

00:22:50.000 Just because I paid for it doesn't mean that the cost was zero.

00:22:54.000 In what insane world is the cost zero when I pay for a thing?

00:22:58.000 What in the world is he talking about?

00:23:00.000 The answer is he's lying, because they have to lie to you, because if they don't lie to you, you might say, wait a second, we're spending money on what now?

00:23:05.000 What are you talking about?

00:23:07.000 We'll get to more of this in just a second.

00:23:09.000 First, let's talk about the fact that your sleep quality should not be compromised.

00:23:13.000 Okay, so I flew yesterday, got in real late, went to kids, put in bed late, Finally got on that mattress.

00:24:20.000 So this is Joe Biden's pitch, is that his agenda is free.

00:24:25.000 Literally, he says this.

00:24:26.000 He tweeted out today.

00:24:28.000 Okay, that's just a lie.

00:24:28.000 It's just a lie.

00:24:29.000 It's going to add zero dollars to the national debt.

00:24:32.000 Instead of wasting money on tax breaks, loopholes, tax evasions for big corporations and the wealthy, we can make a once in a generation investment in working America and it adds zero dollars to the national debt.

00:24:43.000 Okay, that's just a lie.

00:24:45.000 It's just a lie.

00:24:46.000 It's going to add zero dollars to the national debt.

00:24:48.000 He's setting in place programs that are going to have to be paid for, not annually, Not tri-annually.

00:24:54.000 Perennially.

00:24:56.000 These programs are permanent.

00:24:57.000 This is what Democrats do.

00:24:58.000 They set up programs that are supposedly going to sunset five, ten years from now.

00:25:02.000 They never sunset.

00:25:03.000 They only grow.

00:25:04.000 These programs are going to be permanent entitlements in American life.

00:25:07.000 Joe Biden knows this.

00:25:08.000 Democrats know this. 1.00

00:25:09.000 The notion that we're paying for this stuff is absolute, utter horse crap. 0.99

00:25:12.000 It is not true. 0.97

00:25:14.000 The Build Back Better agenda costs zero dollars.

00:25:17.000 By the way, I love how he characterized this.

00:25:18.000 When he says, instead of wasting money on tax breaks, Okay, a tax break is not wasting money.

00:25:24.000 It's not your money.

00:25:25.000 It's not your, it's not your money.

00:25:27.000 Okay, that, that is like saying that if I pay back the credit card company, that I'm wasting money.

00:25:34.000 I'm not, no, it's not my money.

00:25:35.000 It's the credit card company's money.

00:25:37.000 Okay, in this particular situation, the government is you, and the credit card company is the American people.

00:25:43.000 If the American people get back some of their money, that is not you wasting, that is not the state wasting money.

00:25:49.000 That is the state not spending money it doesn't have.

00:25:52.000 Tax breaks are not the government waste.

00:25:55.000 It wasn't the government's money.

00:25:56.000 It didn't come from you.

00:25:58.000 What in the world are you talking about?

00:26:00.000 That's like saying if I steal your wallet and it has $100 in it and I give you $20 back, that somehow I have wasted that $20.

00:26:08.000 It wasn't my money in the first place.

00:26:10.000 I can't steal your wallet, give you your money back, and then be like, oh yeah, by the way, I just wasted money.

00:26:14.000 Look how generous I am.

00:26:16.000 You know what would be better is if I took that money and invested it.

00:26:18.000 And then you say, what are you investing in?

00:26:19.000 Like the stock market?

00:26:20.000 Nope!

00:26:21.000 I'm investing it in a personal entitlement program called a lease on a Ferrari.

00:26:25.000 Like that is what Joe Biden is doing when he says it's an investment.

00:26:27.000 An investment in what?

00:26:29.000 In the growth of the economy?

00:26:30.000 No, because he himself is proclaiming that the economy is going to grow at less than 2% over the next 10 years.

00:26:35.000 So what exactly is he quote-unquote investing in and why is it that when there's an investment, typically the way we refer to an investment is there is an ROI, there's a return on the investment.

00:26:43.000 If I invest in the stock market and I lose 10% every single year, that's a crappy investment.

00:26:48.000 But Joe Biden thinks it's an investment to blow money on random government programs.

00:26:53.000 Why?

00:26:53.000 Because what is he investing in?

00:26:54.000 He's not investing on actual financial growth.

00:26:56.000 He's not investing on actual financial return.

00:26:58.000 He's not giving your money back to you at any point.

00:27:01.000 He's not taking your money and investing it for you the way Warren Buffett would.

00:27:04.000 He's taking your money.

00:27:04.000 He's blowing it on what he's investing in is Democratic voters.

00:27:08.000 That is the plan.

00:27:09.000 The plan is, when he says it's a once-in-a-lifetime investment, he means I'm going to invest in a bunch of people to vote for me.

00:27:15.000 I'm going to bribe them to vote for me and for my party until the end of time by giving them things. 0.81

00:27:20.000 I'm going to enshrine in American life more and more government spending and more and more government dependency so that you will keep voting for a larger and larger government bloat program that reorients the United States away from free markets and toward top-down controlled markets in order to pay for all of this garbage. 0.84

00:27:36.000 That is what Joe Biden is investing in.

00:27:37.000 He's not investing in growth.

00:27:38.000 He's not investing in a stronger America.

00:27:40.000 He's investing in dependency.

00:27:41.000 We all know this.

00:27:43.000 Nancy Pelosi is doing the same thing, by the way.

00:27:45.000 She says, let's not talk about things like money at a time like this.

00:27:50.000 What is money?

00:27:51.000 It's just a concept.

00:27:52.000 Some people use shells.

00:27:54.000 Some people use bonds.

00:27:56.000 We use happy dreams and unicorn poop.

00:28:00.000 This will be paid for.

00:28:01.000 So when some say, oh well, what about inflation?

00:28:04.000 It will be paid for.

00:28:06.000 And that's the beauty of it, by having those in our economy and society who have not paid their fair share, paying their fair share.

00:28:15.000 So again, the Senate and the House, those who are not in full agreement with the President's rate, let's see what our value, let's not talk about numbers and dollars, let's talk about values.

00:28:29.000 Ah, values!

00:28:30.000 Values.

00:28:31.000 Yes, your value is that you wish to centralize as much power in the federal government as humanly possible, and to confiscate money not just from people who are alive now, but future generations who have not yet been born.

00:28:40.000 And then use this to buy your own way into the history books because history treats very kindly activism, government activism.

00:28:47.000 The presidents who are unbelievably crappy at their jobs get treated as American heroes so long as they blow out the spending.

00:28:53.000 If your FDR or LBJ can be unbelievably crappy at your job, and it does not matter, you are treated as an American hero, as a transformational figure in American life.

00:29:01.000 If you're Woodrow Wilson, until very recently, you were treated as a transformational hero in American life, specifically because you strayed from the constitutional limited government vision of the founding fathers. 0.55

00:29:10.000 If you're Calvin Coolidge, you're very bad.

00:29:12.000 If you're Warren G. Harding, you're very bad.

00:29:13.000 You know, you look at the 1920s in American life, I'm constantly struck by this.

00:29:16.000 If you look at the growth rates in the United States during the 1920s, for example, they're really, really, really high, right?

00:29:22.000 There's a reason that the 1920s were called the Roaring Twenties.

00:29:25.000 Then you look at the 1930s, and the 1930s were a lost decade in terms of American growth.

00:29:29.000 The 1930s were a garbage time for the American economy.

00:29:31.000 They were horrific. 0.61

00:29:33.000 Not just the American economy, the world economy.

00:29:35.000 But the American economy prolonged the Great Depression by embracing top-down centralized government policies, courtesy of FDR.

00:29:40.000 But who is considered a good president?

00:29:42.000 Is it the presidents of the 1920s who actually presided over a booming American economy?

00:29:47.000 Is it Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge who are considered the good presidents?

00:29:50.000 No, they're very bad.

00:29:51.000 If you look at the historical rankings of those presidents, the historians, ah, those were do-nothing presidents.

00:29:55.000 They didn't do anything.

00:29:56.000 All they did was preside over massive growth of American economic power.

00:30:02.000 You know, there's a great president in FDR who presided over America's complete economic collapse for over a decade.

00:30:06.000 That guy was great.

00:30:07.000 You know why?

00:30:08.000 Because he installed these programs that we like ever so much.

00:30:12.000 The best American presidents, according to the historical crowd, are the presidents who blow out the spending.

00:30:17.000 This is why, in 20 years, the presidents who are going to be considered great by the historians, assuming that it's the same group of people writing the history books, are going to be people like Obama.

00:30:26.000 And Bill Clinton will have been forgotten.

00:30:27.000 It doesn't matter that Bill Clinton, a Democrat, presided over a rapidly growing economy in the 1990s thanks to his moderate economic policy, which he crafted in conjunction with the Republicans.

00:30:36.000 Barack Obama, who had the slowest economic recovery in modern American history, will be considered a great president because he enshrined big government spending.

00:30:43.000 And Joe Biden knows this, which is why he is pushing this.

00:30:46.000 And now, there's one problem for Joe Biden in all of this, and this is he can't get his own party together.

00:30:50.000 And the reason he can't get his own party together is because there are people still, like Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, who are subject to voters who are not crazy.

00:30:57.000 There's a bunch of senators who are in deep blue states, where the deep blue states just feel like we can blow out the federal budget no matter what, doesn't really matter.

00:31:04.000 But the moderates and the progressives are still very highly divided over a series of issues.

00:31:09.000 So Democrats, for example, according to the Wall Street Journal, are divided on five key issues.

00:31:13.000 They're divided on health care.

00:31:14.000 Democrats are wrestling with funding for and duration of three central health care provisions, an extension of Obamacare subsidies, Medicare coverage for dental, vision, and hearing, and an effort to provide health care coverage for some people in Republican-led states that haven't expanded Medicaid.

00:31:26.000 So the progressives want to expand all of these things.

00:31:29.000 They particularly want to expand Medicare.

00:31:30.000 Why?

00:31:31.000 Because Bernie Sanders has said for a long time, Medicare for all.

00:31:35.000 He doesn't want you to personally purchase supplemental insurance to Medicare.

00:31:38.000 Instead of Medicare being a baseline insurance provided to you when you get old, instead Medicare is supposed to be a comprehensive insurance service that is essentially NHS.

00:31:46.000 It's essentially the UK nationalized healthcare service for old people.

00:31:50.000 And then we'll gradually expand that backwards in age.

00:31:53.000 That is Bernie Sanders' pretty open plan.

00:31:54.000 He's pretty obvious about this.

00:31:56.000 Pelosi says that all three of these priorities will be in the final bill, but that could become increasingly challenging if moderate Democrats push for a lower amount of overall spending.

00:32:05.000 The healthcare puzzle becomes even more complicated because Kyrsten Sinema and some centrist lawmakers in the House are opposed to the Democratic proposal to quote-unquote lower prescription drug costs by giving Medicare the ability to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies.

00:32:19.000 Their plan could, quote, save as much as $500 billion over a decade, money that Democrats are counting on to pay for all of these big spending plans.

00:32:26.000 So what they want to do, the Democrats, is they want to use the federal government in order to negotiate directly with drug companies.

00:32:31.000 And by negotiate, we mean cram down on drug companies, particular drug prices.

00:32:35.000 And then the quote, unquote, savings that we earn from that, we are going to then use on Medicare, Medicaid, ACA expansion.

00:32:40.000 There's only one problem with this.

00:32:41.000 When you cram down pricing on drug companies, what do you think the drug companies do?

00:32:46.000 All they do is not provide more drugs.

00:32:49.000 Patents will be lost.

00:32:51.000 These businesses will be offshored.

00:32:53.000 People will incorporate their businesses elsewhere.

00:32:55.000 There's a reason the vast majority of medical patents on planet Earth happen in the United States.

00:32:59.000 That drives the economy.

00:33:01.000 Or, it could be like Canada, you can live off the fat of the land, trying to negotiate with these drug companies separately, and assume Americans are going to pay the freight for that, and Americans pay the freight by virtue of the higher drug prices, but what they get in response for that, what they get in return for that, is that all these drug companies work for the United States.

00:33:17.000 Those are the choices.

00:33:18.000 There is no third choice where they continue to provide drugs at this government-negotiated, artificially low price, and then also continue to develop new drugs.

00:33:25.000 That is not the way this works.

00:33:28.000 Also, the Democrats are divided over long-term home care and child care.

00:33:31.000 Mr. Biden's plan calls for $400 billion in funding for home health care for the elderly and disabled.

00:33:36.000 West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin has balked at spending that much, as have other centrists.

00:33:39.000 The House Energy and Commerce Committee drew up a $190 billion expansion plan to help the elderly and disabled stay in their homes.

00:33:45.000 Senator Bob Casey has his own $250 billion plan.

00:33:49.000 It's a lot of money.

00:33:50.000 Progressives worry an insufficiently funded plan won't be able to achieve its objectives.

00:33:55.000 Okay, well, one of the reasons Democrats are pushing for this is because they're also pushing for home health care workers and child care workers to be effectively unionized.

00:34:04.000 They want to treat all of those people as union employees.

00:34:07.000 This is their goal.

00:34:08.000 They don't want them to be able to be treated as individual employees.

00:34:11.000 They want them to be treated as unionized employees.

00:34:14.000 It's a major issue in terms of right to work.

00:34:16.000 Democrats are also divided on climate.

00:34:18.000 The centerpiece of the Democrats' plan to address the climate crisis is the Clean Electricity Performance Program, which would pay utilities that switch to clean energy and penalize those that don't, because clean energy has been such a boon in places like Texas.

00:34:29.000 Okay, it has not been.

00:34:31.000 That is me being incredibly cynical and sarcastic, because these clean energy programs have basically just made power extraordinarily more expensive and less reliable in most places around the United States.

00:34:41.000 Utilities that increase their use of clean energy by 4% every year would get money from the feds.

00:34:45.000 Those that fail to do so would get hit with a fine.

00:34:48.000 But Joe Manchin comes from West Virginia, which is a coal state.

00:34:51.000 So he's like, nope, not interested in that.

00:34:55.000 Meanwhile, on immigration, Democrats are seeking a path forward after the Senate parliamentarian ruled they could not include a pathway to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.

00:35:03.000 Democrats are still trying to find a way around all of this.

00:35:06.000 One possibility they've considered is to update an immigration law known as the registry, which would allow anyone present in the country earlier than a certain date to become a legal permanent resident.

00:35:13.000 So basically make DACA permanent.

00:35:15.000 They're also divided on taxes.

00:35:18.000 Senior Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee and House Ways and Means Committee have prepared a long menu of options to pay for the spending, along with tax credits that will add to the bill's overall cost.

00:35:25.000 Progressives and centrists are divided on a new corporate tax rate anywhere between 21% and 26.5%.

00:35:32.000 By the way, we are now going to have a corporate tax rate that is higher than China's if the Democrats get what they want.

00:35:36.000 They want to raise the top individual tax rate, and they want to include measures to raise taxes on private equity managers, capital gains, and supersized Roth IRAs used by the quote-unquote ultra wealthy.

00:35:46.000 As opposed to everybody else.

00:35:47.000 Capital gains apparently no longer apply to people who are not ultra wealthy, which is weird because it turns out that a huge percentage of Americans own stocks.

00:35:54.000 Also, the top line cost is at issue.

00:35:56.000 So Democrats are divided over all of these issues.

00:35:58.000 And Joe Biden has no coattails.

00:36:00.000 Joe Biden has no ability to whip his own caucus into shape.

00:36:04.000 We'll get to that in just one moment.

00:36:05.000 The reason he has no ability to whip his own caucus into shape is because he refused to actually govern the way he campaigned.

00:36:11.000 He was always a Trojan horse. 0.89

00:36:13.000 What he wanted to be as president is not what the American people wanted him to be as president.

00:36:17.000 He's feeling the pain of that, but it's not stopping him.

00:36:20.000 We'll get to more of this in just one second.

00:36:21.000 First, the lockdowns of the last year and a half have created this huge pent-up demand in terms of employment.

00:36:26.000 There's like 10 million open jobs in the United States and not enough people to fill them.

00:36:29.000 This means that if you're an employer and you need to find the best possible employee, it's kind of hard.

00:37:27.000 We haven't even gotten to the Biden administration just continually lying, I mean openly lying about Border Patrol.

00:37:32.000 It's insane.

00:37:33.000 First, you deserve to wake up to the facts.

00:37:55.000 You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.

00:37:58.000 So Joe Biden continues to try and ram this thing through, but he does not have any coattails.

00:38:09.000 So, Joe Manchin is saying there's no timeline.

00:38:12.000 He's saying, listen, you guys keep pushing this $3.5 trillion plan, there's no reason for it.

00:38:15.000 There really is no reason for it.

00:38:16.000 If you want to do it, do it later.

00:38:18.000 Right now, we should be watching and waiting the economy.

00:38:21.000 But Joe Biden is trying to ram all this through at once because he refuses to put pressure on the so-called progressive caucus.

00:38:27.000 This is something Playbook is reporting, and it's kind of shocking.

00:38:30.000 Again, the reality is that Joe Biden is basically not putting pressure right now on the people who ought to be pressured, namely the progressive wing.

00:38:38.000 According to Politico, moderate Democrats expected Biden to start twisting House progressives' arms during their White House meeting last week.

00:38:43.000 But we're told by sources in the progressive camp and another senior Democratic aide that the president has neither asked progressives to drop their demand that the reconciliation bill pass in tandem with the bipartisan infrastructure bill, nor pressured them to accept a stand-alone vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill this week.

00:38:58.000 At least not yet.

00:38:59.000 This has infuriated moderates.

00:39:01.000 A moderate source said, quote, the president needs to pick up the phone and call people.

00:39:04.000 The person argued the White House has been in listening mode for too long, needs to start banging heads to get this vote over the finish line. It's not just moderates that are dismayed.

00:39:11.000 There are a lot of mistakes happening here, said the senior Democratic aide. There's no whip effort on the bipartisan infrastructure bill yet. Everything is hanging by a thread. Biden needs to be more engaged. Progressives, for their part, believe that Biden and Pelosi are with them.

00:39:23.000 One House progressive said, quote, no one has made the case to progressives or lobbied for them to change their position and vote for it before the Build Back Better Act.

00:39:30.000 No idea.

00:39:30.000 No clue.

00:39:31.000 So Pelosi keeps saying she's happy talking this thing.

00:39:32.000 She says, we're going to pass this bill this week.

00:39:34.000 need both bills. So what exactly is Pelosi going to do if Schumer and the White House don't get a reconciliation deal hatched out with Manchin or Sinema by Thursday? No clue.

00:39:44.000 No idea. So Pelosi keeps saying she's happy talking this thing. She says, we're going to pass this bill this week. But she said she's also not going to bring a bill to the floor that does not have the votes. So either there will be a magic moment in which Democrats come together here or Joe Biden's agenda is in serious, serious trouble as well. It should By the way, it is worth noting here that the Biden inability to get policy done here is forcing the Federal Reserve to basically come out of the closet as a political actor, which has been for a very, very long time.

00:40:11.000 The supposed independence of the Federal Reserve is kind of a joke and has been kind of a joke all the way since the FDR administration.

00:40:17.000 It's been an open secret that the Federal Reserve is pretty clearly manipulated by whoever is sitting in the White House at the time, and that is obvious with regard to Joe Biden.

00:40:24.000 I mean Janet Yellen went from being the Federal Reserve head to the Treasury Secretary with no gap.

00:40:29.000 None.

00:40:31.000 So right now, the Federal Reserve is already making noises, saying, well, you know, if we don't pass this, if we don't pass these bills, if we don't get this debt ceiling lifted, we're going to have to take some really strong measures.

00:40:41.000 Like what?

00:40:42.000 What are you going to do that you haven't been doing before?

00:40:44.000 Jerome Powell says the options include the Fed buying Treasury securities in default on the open market and selling Treasuries owned by the Fed to counteract potentially severe strains in financial markets.

00:40:53.000 The idea would be that in order to inject liquidity into the market, the Federal Reserve is going to just start basically printing money and then buying bonds.

00:41:02.000 So more quantitative easing, essentially.

00:41:04.000 Wow, never seen that before.

00:41:05.000 You're going to use a tool that you've been using extensively for the last 20 years?

00:41:08.000 Wow, I'm shocked.

00:41:11.000 Among the officials who said such steps could not be ruled out were Jerome Powell and Janet Yellen.

00:41:16.000 Oh, shocker.

00:41:17.000 Powell called the measures loathsome.

00:41:19.000 Others called them repugnant or beyond the pale for two main reasons.

00:41:21.000 First, it would pierce the Fed's institutional preference to avoid directly financing the government, often referred to as its independence from fiscal policy.

00:41:29.000 Wow.

00:41:30.000 Yes, yes, that fabled Fed independence.

00:41:33.000 Don't pierce that.

00:41:34.000 By God.

00:41:35.000 No, no, stop it.

00:41:36.000 Second, Fed officials worry if such contingency planning became public, elected officials might feel less urgency to raise the debt limit. 0.97

00:41:43.000 Yes, because the debt limit is a bunch of garbage anyway. 0.59

00:41:46.000 As we say, the Federal Reserve is in control anyway. 0.97

00:41:48.000 It's been in control for quite a long time.

00:41:50.000 And so bottom line is, And that Joe Biden is having trouble getting his caucus together.

00:41:54.000 He should be having trouble getting his caucus together.

00:41:56.000 And all the pressure right now is on Manchin and Sinema to cave.

00:41:58.000 But Manchin and Sinema have some pretty strong incentives not to cave.

00:42:01.000 So it'll be fascinating to watch how all of this plays out this week.

00:42:03.000 If Manchin and Sinema cave, then both of them need to go and go forth with, obviously.

00:42:09.000 And by the way, the bipartisan infrastructure bill will die.

00:42:12.000 Because the basic deal here needs to be that counteractive pressure needs to be brought on people like Mitt Romney and Susan Collins and all the people who signed on to the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the Rob Portmans of the world.

00:42:25.000 If the Democrats decide to ram through both of these at the same time, then Republicans need to force the Democrats to shovel all that bipartisan infrastructure garbage into the broader budget plan.

00:42:36.000 Let them pass a $4.6 trillion budget.

00:42:39.000 If they really want to own it all together, they can pass it all as one giant reconciliation bill.

00:42:43.000 Otherwise, those Republicans need to push back.

00:42:46.000 And by the way, my understanding is they will.

00:42:48.000 The reason that Manchin and Sinema have been siding against this giant budget bill is because, specifically, they are in favor of the bipartisan infrastructure bill, and they know that that one's more popular.

00:42:59.000 So they are siding with one over the other.

00:43:01.000 So if they cave, Republicans need to push back by abandoning that bipartisan infrastructure bill. 0.82

00:43:06.000 Okay, meanwhile, it is unbelievable how lies that are told by the social justice left just become quote-unquote fact.

00:43:13.000 They're laundered as fact through our fact-checking apparatus and through our media, and no one seems to care.

00:43:19.000 So one of the things that we have been following here pretty closely at The Daily Wire is the new standards and practices set up by Facebook.

00:43:26.000 So Facebook admitted that for the past year they've been suppressing conservative content essentially, which we've known because we've seen our own traffic statistics.

00:43:33.000 Some of the metrics that they use in order to determine what stuff to suppress is quote-unquote fact-checked material.

00:43:39.000 And they say this openly now, that if something has been fact-checked, even if what is fact-checked is quote-unquote missing context, they will just downgrade the distribution of that material.

00:43:48.000 Now, missing context is a designation that fact-checkers, left-wing fact-checkers, frequently use in order to ding conservative content that is not Untrue.

00:43:57.000 So we print a true story, and then PolitiFact says, missing context, by which they mean that what we said is true.

00:44:04.000 They just don't like that what we said is true.

00:44:06.000 And then Facebook downgrades our content.

00:44:08.000 And meanwhile, the fact checkers let complete lies just go completely, just utterly unquestioned in the mainstream media.

00:44:15.000 Which again, plays back into the Facebook metrics.

00:44:19.000 Facebook gives credit to quote-unquote widely trusted sources.

00:44:23.000 What makes a source widely trusted?

00:44:25.000 What makes a source widely trusted is that it isn't fact-checked.

00:44:28.000 That's what makes a source widely trusted.

00:44:30.000 So, legacy media have basically re-enshrined their own monopoly on dissemination of information via the big social media companies like Facebook.

00:44:39.000 That's why they were pushing Facebook so hard, right?

00:44:41.000 All these big companies, the New York Times and the Washington Post, they have columnists who spend every single day just pushing Facebook to restrict dissemination of information, whether it's the Hunter Biden story in the lead up to the election, or whether it is conservative coverage of the border.

00:44:55.000 All that stuff has to be suppressed.

00:44:57.000 And the way that they do that is they have these, quote-unquote, nonpartisan fact-checkers ding every conservative outlet and let open lies by the mainstream media go.

00:45:05.000 They just pretend that these open lies by the mainstream media do not exist.

00:45:09.000 Like, this is the shtick.

00:45:10.000 And it is really, really effective.

00:45:12.000 Because when you launder bad news through the system, it magically becomes clean.

00:45:17.000 And when you launder actual factual reporting from the right through the system, it becomes, quote-unquote, missing context.

00:45:22.000 A perfect example of this.

00:45:24.000 So, over the past week and a half, There's been this viral photo.

00:45:30.000 There's a photo that went viral of an agent, a border patrol agent, supposedly grabbing an illegal immigrant, and you can see his quote-unquote whip.

00:45:38.000 Ugh! 0.97

00:45:39.000 He's whipping the illegal immigrant! 1.00

00:45:40.000 There's a Haitian illegal immigrant who's rushing across the border and apparently into the interior of Texas.

00:45:44.000 And you can see this Border Patrol agent leaning over his horse, right?

00:45:47.000 This is the viral photo.

00:45:48.000 Wow.

00:45:49.000 And from his hand, the Border Patrol agent, you can see that there is a rain that is dangling.

00:45:55.000 Now, the media started reporting over and over and over again that Border Patrol was whipping Haitians.

00:46:01.000 And you remember Maxine Waters saying it was worse than slavery.

00:46:04.000 We had columnists coming out and saying this was reminiscent of slave-catching patrols.

00:46:09.000 Systemic racism.

00:46:10.000 It now is a lie from the very beginning.

00:46:12.000 Border Patrol agents do not have whips.

00:46:14.000 There is not a single agency of the American government that is armed with whips.

00:46:17.000 That is not a thing.

00:46:19.000 Border Patrol agents have horses.

00:46:21.000 Those horses are controlled by long reins, as anyone who has ever watched a Western understands.

00:46:27.000 Again, not a horseman over here, but even I understand that you need reins in order to control a horse.

00:46:34.000 But because the Border Patrol agents had reins and the reins were long, the notion was that these Border Patrol agents were either using full-on whips to whip people or they were using the reins in order to whip people.

00:46:46.000 Okay.

00:46:47.000 All of that was a lie.

00:46:49.000 Not a single part of that was true.

00:46:51.000 So here was the still photo.

00:46:52.000 And then, it turns out, as I said... Remember I said that somebody had video of this?

00:46:57.000 Because there were tons of reporters at the border?

00:46:58.000 Well, it turns out somebody did have video of this.

00:47:01.000 Of this exact incident.

00:47:02.000 With that picture.

00:47:03.000 Here is what exactly happened on the video.

00:47:05.000 On the right floor, if you can't see.

00:47:10.000 So you can see there's a Border Patrol agent.

00:47:11.000 He's ordering people out of the river.

00:47:14.000 He's yelling at people.

00:47:15.000 He's trying to turn his horse, right?

00:47:17.000 He takes the reins and he spins the reins in order to turn the horse. 0.59

00:47:20.000 And here is one of the Haitian illegal immigrants.

00:47:22.000 And there's there's one of them and he's running up the hill.

00:47:24.000 He's gone, right?

00:47:25.000 He's making his move up the hill.

00:47:26.000 The Border Patrol agent literally leans over off his horse and grabs the guy by the shirt.

00:47:32.000 And that right there is the entirety of it.

00:47:34.000 That's the whole thing.

00:47:36.000 What you just saw is the most controversial policing procedure since George Floyd in America.

00:47:41.000 I'm not kidding.

00:47:42.000 That is what it has been, right?

00:47:45.000 This is the single most taken and most distributed photo about law enforcement since the George Floyd scandal of a year ago.

00:47:51.000 Now, in that particular case, George Floyd died beneath the knee of a police officer, whether or not you believe that it was causative.

00:48:00.000 In this particular case, an illegal immigrant was crossing a river illegally, tried to run into the interior of Texas, a border patrol agent leaned over his horse and grabbed his shirt.

00:48:09.000 That's it.

00:48:10.000 You saw the whole video.

00:48:11.000 That's the whole thing.

00:48:13.000 The still is what went around, rocketed around the world.

00:48:15.000 Not just rocketed around the world, but became the topic of every major media show.

00:48:21.000 Have any of these major sources been fact-checked on this?

00:48:25.000 Any?

00:48:25.000 They've all had to go back and issue corrections now.

00:48:29.000 But that doesn't matter, apparently.

00:48:32.000 The New York Times, for example, Put out this correction.

00:48:35.000 An earlier version of this article overstated what is known about the behavior of some Border Patrol agents on horseback.

00:48:40.000 While the agents waved their reins while pushing migrants back into the Rio Grande, The Times has not seen conclusive evidence that migrants were struck with the reins.

00:48:49.000 Okay, it turns out that waving your reins at your horse is what you do when you're riding a horse.

00:48:55.000 So that's not a story.

00:48:56.000 What's a story is when you smack people with the reins.

00:48:58.000 But that didn't actually happen.

00:49:01.000 And by the way, the journalist who took the photo said, uh, no, I never saw anybody whip anybody.

00:49:07.000 The photographer, whose name was Paul Ratchie, was speaking with KTSM.

00:49:11.000 He said he and his colleagues taking photos that day never saw any of the agents whipping the Haitian migrants they were moving.

00:49:17.000 Some of the Haitian men started running, trying to go around the horses, says Ratchie.

00:49:20.000 He says, quote, I didn't ever see them whip anyone with the thing.

00:49:23.000 He was swinging it.

00:49:24.000 I didn't see him actually whip someone with it.

00:49:26.000 Those definitely can be misconstrued when you're looking at the picture.

00:49:30.000 Okay, but that did not stop the Democrats from ripping on Border Patrol for over a week on this.

00:49:36.000 Here was Joe Biden ripping his own Border Patrol agents.

00:49:38.000 By the way, you know what would have stopped the Border Patrol agents from having to do any of this?

00:49:41.000 A wall.

00:49:42.000 A wall.

00:49:43.000 Here is Joe Biden ripping his own Border Patrol agents over a complete hoax.

00:49:47.000 It is just not true.

00:49:48.000 Over myth-making.

00:49:50.000 It was horrible what to see, as you saw.

00:49:53.000 To see people treated like they did, horses barely running them over, people being strapped.

00:49:58.000 It's outrageous.

00:49:59.000 I promise you, those people will pay.

00:50:02.000 There will be an investigation underway now, and there will be consequences.

00:50:07.000 There will be consequences.

00:50:08.000 It's an embarrassment, but it's beyond an embarrassment.

00:50:12.000 It's dangerous.

00:50:12.000 It's wrong.

00:50:14.000 It sends the wrong message around the world.

00:50:16.000 It sends the wrong message at home.

00:50:18.000 It's simply not who we are.

00:50:21.000 It's simply not who we are. 0.99

00:50:22.000 No, who we are is a bunch of senile old liars, apparently. 0.98

00:50:26.000 Again, this whole thing never happened. 0.98

00:50:28.000 It never happened.

00:50:30.000 According to the mainstream media, the Hunter Biden story was a Russian disinformation operation, but our border patrol agents were openly whipping people.

00:50:38.000 Our fact-checking media, by the way, will tell you.

00:50:41.000 They spent a lot of time doing this a couple of weeks ago.

00:50:43.000 The Taliban were not hanging people from helicopters.

00:50:46.000 That wasn't a person who was dead hanging off that helicopter.

00:50:49.000 That video that you saw of somebody hanging from a helicopter.

00:50:52.000 The Taliban will never do anything like that.

00:50:53.000 And then a week later, there's stories that the Taliban are literally hanging people from cranes in the center of Herat.

00:50:59.000 But, you know, they're not gonna get fact-checked on that.

00:51:01.000 But what is absolute fact, according to the entire Democratic administration, is what is clearly and overtly a lie.

00:51:08.000 It is a lie that Border Patrol agents were whipping people.

00:51:11.000 It is not true.

00:51:12.000 There's not one iota of evidence that this ever happened.

00:51:16.000 And every member of the Biden administration parrots this.

00:51:18.000 Every single member.

00:51:21.000 Kamala Harris, who's just woken it up over at the White House.

00:51:24.000 Here she is saying the images of Border Patrol evoked slavery.

00:51:29.000 I was outraged by it.

00:51:32.000 It was horrible and deeply troubling.

00:51:36.000 There's been now an investigation that is being conducted, which I fully support, and there needs to be consequence and accountability.

00:51:45.000 Human beings should not be treated that way, and as we all know, it also evoked images of some of the worst moments of our history, where that kind of behavior has been used against The indigenous people of our country has been used against African-Americans during times of slavery.

00:52:05.000 What in the world is she talking about?

00:52:07.000 These are people illegally trying to enter the country. 1.00

00:52:10.000 Not people who are attempting to evade the country.

00:52:13.000 They're trying to come into the country. 1.00

00:52:15.000 These are people who are trying to cross the border and claim asylum so they can live here.

00:52:19.000 They're trying to get into the place that the Border Patrol is trying to keep them out of.

00:52:24.000 Border Patrol isn't trying to recapture them and take them to a plantation.

00:52:28.000 Like, what in the hell is she talking about?

00:52:30.000 And it's just a lie. 0.98

00:52:31.000 Again, it's just a lie.

00:52:32.000 Okay, but they don't care about the lie.

00:52:34.000 Because the lie forwards the notion that they are part of the constant revolution.

00:52:38.000 This is the bigger point.

00:52:39.000 The bigger point is that when it comes to Democrats, Democrats are interested in the lie that they have to do two things simultaneously, which are impossible.

00:52:48.000 On the one hand, government can cure all your problems.

00:52:51.000 Government can keep you safe from COVID.

00:52:52.000 Government can pay all of your bills.

00:52:53.000 Government can protect you from all vicissitudes of life.

00:52:57.000 Government is the be-all end-all.

00:52:59.000 On the other hand, The government is racist. 0.99

00:53:02.000 The government is systemically evil. 0.95

00:53:04.000 The government is discriminatory.

00:53:05.000 Okay, so these two things can't go together.

00:53:08.000 Over the course of the 20th century, these two strains of progressive thought were in complete conflict.

00:53:12.000 We had the authoritarian top-down, we-can-solve-everything progressive caucus.

00:53:15.000 And then, we had the authoritarian bottom-up progressive caucus, which suggested the entire system needed to be overthrown.

00:53:21.000 The compromise come to during the Obama administration was perpetual revolution from the top.

00:53:27.000 The notion was that if we take over the powers of government, we will be almost outsiders in our own administration.

00:53:32.000 We'll sit here ripping on the structures of government until we can use our power inside the government to change the structures of government.

00:53:39.000 So this is why you see the weird spectacle of members at the top of the White House ripping on the Border Patrol agents for part of their own executive branch.

00:53:47.000 How can they do that?

00:53:48.000 Because this is part of the entire strategy, which is, we are the perpetual revolution.

00:53:53.000 Give us power, we will remake the system from the inside along the basis of racial equity.

00:53:58.000 This was Barack Obama's claim, and Democrats have picked up on it.

00:54:02.000 Democrats for a long time said, no, no, no, the system is good.

00:54:04.000 You just need to put us in charge and give the system more power.

00:54:07.000 Now Democrats say, the system is bad.

00:54:08.000 Put us in charge and give us more power.

00:54:11.000 That is the goal here.

00:54:13.000 Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS secretary, is doing the exact same thing.

00:54:16.000 These are images of systemic racism.

00:54:19.000 In the midst of meeting these challenges, we, our entire nation, saw horrifying images that do not reflect who we are, who we aspire to be, or the integrity and values of our truly heroic personnel in the Department of Homeland Security.

00:54:37.000 The investigation into what occurred has not yet concluded.

00:54:41.000 We know that those images painfully conjured up the worst elements of our nation's ongoing battle against systemic racism. 1.00

00:54:52.000 These people are a damned joke. 1.00

00:54:54.000 They are a joke. 1.00

00:54:55.000 They've been a joke for years, by the way.

00:54:56.000 Going all the way back to Michael Brown, who's still perceived in large swaths of the progressive community as some sort of secular saint.

00:55:05.000 Michael Brown attacked a police officer before he was shot to death.

00:55:08.000 The basic idea here again is that all that matters is the narrative.

00:55:12.000 The facts are of complete non-importance.

00:55:15.000 They do not matter to this administration.

00:55:16.000 They don't matter in the slightest.

00:55:18.000 And by the way, you're not supposed to pay attention to the fact that this administration, which said that it was not open borders, took 10,000 to 12,000 of those illegal immigrants.

00:55:26.000 There are 15,000 people under that bridge.

00:55:28.000 10,000 to 12,000 of them Have been released inside the United States.

00:55:31.000 Did any of them get COVID tested, by the way?

00:55:33.000 I've noticed we've got vaccine passports everywhere.

00:55:34.000 And now we're mandating that health care workers throughout the United States get vaccinated or get fired.

00:55:39.000 We're telling businesses with more than 100 employees they must vaccinate or test their employees once a week.

00:55:45.000 But if you're an illegal immigrant, come on in. 1.00

00:55:47.000 No COVID test for you.

00:55:47.000 Here's Alejandro Mayorkas saying 10 to 12,000 illegal immigrants have been released inside the United States.

00:55:54.000 Of the 17,400 that weren't deported back or didn't return on their own to Mexico, how many of them either, well first, how many have been released into the U.S.?

00:56:05.000 They're released on conditions and approximately, I think it's about 10,000 or so, 12,000.

00:56:11.000 Have been released?

00:56:12.000 Yes.

00:56:13.000 And of the 5,000 that are still in process?

00:56:16.000 We will make determinations whether they will be returned to Haiti based on our public health and public interest authorities.

00:56:29.000 So they deported like five people.

00:56:32.000 Everybody else got in.

00:56:34.000 Every single other person was just released into the interior of the United States.

00:56:38.000 Yep, but it's not open borders, guys.

00:56:39.000 They're not open borders.

00:56:40.000 I mean, I know that you're sitting there going to yourself, well, didn't Trump want to build a wall and all?

00:56:45.000 Yeah, they opposed a wall, you see.

00:56:47.000 Why did you allow them in the country in the first place? 0.99

00:56:49.000 Why didn't you build, forgive me, a wall or a fence to stop them from walking in this flood of people coming across the dam?

00:56:57.000 It looks like a highway that allows them to cross the Rio Grande.

00:57:01.000 It is the policy of this administration.

00:57:04.000 We do not agree with the building of the wall.

00:57:06.000 The law provides that individuals can make a claim for humanitarian relief.

00:57:12.000 That is actually one of our proudest traditions.

00:57:14.000 Oh, one of our proudest traditions is people crossing the Rio Grande illegally and being housed under a bridge and then being released into the interior of the United States with a show-up-again date.

00:57:23.000 It's a proud tradition in the United States.

00:57:25.000 That's good to know.

00:57:26.000 But here's the thing, guys.

00:57:28.000 It's not that they hate the patrol.

00:57:29.000 It's not that they hate the Border Patrol.

00:57:31.000 Alejandro Mayorkas also says the Border Patrol can count on them.

00:57:34.000 If you're a border patrol agent, why wouldn't you just act like police officers all over the United States have been acting and be like, you know what?

00:57:40.000 Done.

00:57:40.000 I'm going to sit here.

00:57:41.000 I'm not doing anything.

00:57:42.000 Because the minute I do something and a photographer takes something I do out of context, my career is over.

00:57:47.000 I'm done.

00:57:48.000 So I may as well just sit here.

00:57:49.000 You want these people in the country anyway.

00:57:50.000 Fine.

00:57:51.000 Fine.

00:57:52.000 We're just going to not do our jobs.

00:57:53.000 We're just going to sit here.

00:57:54.000 And if you want people to cross over, done. 0.89

00:57:57.000 I'm not going to participate.

00:57:59.000 Here's Alejandro Mayorca saying the Border Patrol can count on them after every major member of this administration, from the President to the VP to the Secretary of Homeland Security, is out there lying openly about members of Border Patrol.

00:58:09.000 Can the Border Patrol count on you and President Biden, who has said the people will pay, to come to a determination based on the facts and not based on Twitter outrage?

00:58:23.000 They sure can.

00:58:24.000 And let me say something about that, Jake.

00:58:27.000 Because I've worked very closely with the men and women of U.S.

00:58:30.000 Customs and Border Protection for many years.

00:58:33.000 Many, many years.

00:58:34.000 And they are heroic.

00:58:37.000 They're heroic? 0.97

00:58:38.000 Wait a second, I thought they were members of the systemically racist posse rounding up black illegal immigrants. 0.90

00:58:43.000 They're heroic.

00:58:44.000 The same message the Democrats give with regard to the police.

00:58:47.000 They're heroic, except if they do their jobs.

00:58:49.000 And then if they do their jobs and we take pictures of them doing their jobs, then they're racist heroes of the KKK. 0.99

00:58:55.000 It's just a pathetic administration. 0.99

00:58:57.000 No wonder their popularity is declining radically, as well it should be. 0.99

00:59:01.000 This is an administration in very, very serious trouble.

00:59:04.000 If all they get to show for it is just a giant bag of spending, even that is not going to be enough.

00:59:08.000 All right, we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of content.
