we get to the latest in the build back
better drama and whether Joe Biden is
going to be able to cram through this
1.75 trillion dollar boondoggle which
actually is not 1.75 trillion it's
actually closer to 3 trillion as we will
discuss it is important to mention that
everything right now in terms of the
democratic hopes relies on Glenn
youngkin not winning in Virginia so this
Virginia gubernatorial race has now
become one of the great Shockers in
modern American political history the
polling shows Glenn young can up there
two separate polls out yesterday showing
Glenn Young up substantially I'm Terry
McAuliffe remember this is a state that
Joe Biden won just a few months back by
10 points
hey this the state has now shifted
dramatically against the party of the
president of the United States according
to a brand new poll provided to the
Washington examiner young Ken is now at
47 and McAuliffe is at 43. hey and
that's not the only poll that is like
this there's another poll that is out
from Fox News Fox News historically has
been a very Pro McAuliffe poll the new
poll shows young can up eight points on
a call of 53-45
he leaves among youngin leads among
registered voters by one point and
likely voters by eight young kenans had
plus 14 with parents plus 11 on the
economy plus eight uneducation plus 12
on crime even plus one on covid
okay we are only a few days out from the
election
now this is not the first time that
something like this has happened
actually Bob McDonnell when he won
election in Virginia that had been right
after a democratic sweep and then he won
election in Virginia by like a wide
margin shifted from a plus six
Democratic states like a plus 17 state
for Bob McDonald so Virginia does have a
habit of backlashing against radicalism
and that's what you are seeing right
here and Democrats have to be running a
little bit scared because McAuliffe has
run on the Biden agenda and by yelling
Trump a lot and it's not working
and the Biden agenda is really unpopular
bringing in Joe Biden to try and save
the day had apparently no impact
Americans are still concerned with the
radicalism of critical race Theory they
are still concerned with whether they
get to control their kid's education
they're still concerned with inflation
they're concerned with all of the issues
Democrats would prefer they not care
about and the Democratic solution for
all these problems is to continue to
throw money at it well if Glenn youngin
upsets Terry McAuliffe who remember is a
revered figure inside the Democratic
party he's a former governor of Virginia
he's the former head of DNC he's the
owner of Clinton acolyte if Terry
McAuliffe goes down to Flaming defeat in
Virginia they're going to be a lot of
Congress people Blue Dog Democrats if
they still exist some of the senators
are going to say um I don't really want
to reap the Whirlwind in order to push
through a bill that is just loaded with
pork for Joe Biden's friends it does not
seem like a good deal okay so this is
why Joe Biden is trying to push this
through he needs to Ram this through so
yesterday Joe Biden tried to Ram this
thing through the infrastructure bill at
the very least so his basic idea was
divide up the infrastructure Bill and
build back better why well if you can
get the infrastructure bill passed then
there will be no leverage for the
progressive caucus on the buildback
better plan because they'll either have
to vote it up or vote it down but
they'll be voting it up or down
in the absence of any piece of Leverage
if they vote against the bill then the
bill just goes down to defeat they don't
get any win out of it just looks like
spite if however they hold up the
infrastructure plan in order to get
people to put more pork into the build
back better plan then they have a little
bit of Leverage
so Joe Biden was really pushing
yesterday for an infrastructure planned
vote he wanted that vote yesterday he
put out a framework for Bill back better
he hoped that this would get the
Congressional Progressive caucus on
board to vote for the infrastructure
plan and then he could separate off
build back better and then he wouldn't
have to worry about the progressives he
could just go ahead and push forward his
moderate plan get enough votes on the
Democratic side of the aisle to do it
and the progressives would probably join
in because it's better for them to build
to vote up or down on build back better
and vote in favor than not to vote for
it at all
right The Leverage game is over if
there's a vote on the infrastructure
plan so late last night Joe Biden was
pushing very hard for there to be a vote
Nancy Pelosi was pushing hard for there
to be a vote this is the second straight
week Nancy Pelosi has said they wanted
to vote on infrastructure and this is
the second straight week that it simply
didn't happen so if this extends if this
discussion extends all the way past the
election next week which is happening on
November 2nd if that election ends up
going in Glenn young in favor I think
this can be very difficult for Democrats
to pass anything that looks remotely
like even what they're discussing right
now because none of the details have
been worked out maybe they get an
infrastructure plan but it's hard to
imagine that Mansion who's in the state
next door to London
and Cinema who's going to be running a
competitive race next time she didn't
win by very much last time
and both of them are going to be
deeply interested in voting for
buildback better so remember that Cinema
and Mansion are actually just shielding
a couple of other Democrats in the
Senate who are really in tight races
right now so Maggie Hassan in New
Hampshire for example is not guaranteed
a re-elect in her race
might run in that race if he runs she's
in real trouble so if she votes for Bill
back better and votes for tax increases
in a state that is very low tax state
New Hampshire it doesn't like taxes very
much she could easily lose that seats
that's another senator who is going to
be on the firing line if young can wins
in Virginia Mark Kelly is in Arizona and
he ran a very competitive race last time
but there's no reason why he wouldn't be
highly vulnerable if this bill passes
with his vote and it passes on a
straight party online vote 50 50.
so what happens in Virginia matters an
awful lot which is why Joe Biden is
trying to force this thing through fast
what's amazing is that he's he's trying
to force this thing through in the face
of overwhelming evidence that the
American people are not interested his
approval ratings are down in the low 40s
and the harder he pushes his plan the
lower his approval ratings go
plus the US economy in Q3 just died it
just laid down and died
and laid an egg according to the
Washington Post the US economy grew at a
disappointing 2.0 annual rate in the
third quarter
as the Delta variant peaked but
promising signs in just 2021 is on track
to notch the fastest foliard growth in
almost four decades I love how the
Washington Post has to try and Salvage
Joe Biden from himself so right now you
should not be having quarterly growth of
two percent you should be you should be
having quarterly annualized growth of
seven or eight percent it is what was
forecast all year long
yes there's gonna be a fast growth year
overall because we had the worst year in
terms of GDP growth in modern American
history last year because of the
artificial shutdown of the entire
economy thanks to covid
but Joe Biden's policies have now
crimped an economy that should have been
racing ahead at full speed because he
has pushed inflationary policy because
he has pushed bad tax policy because he
has made people unlikely to invest and
even if you are investing you can't even
get Workers out there he's paying people
to stay home buildback better does that
too
and Joe Biden's answer as always is more
cowbell so they've put they've got a
real pickle on their hands they're kind
of stuck here if they push Bill back
better and it passes
they might lose the Senate and if they
don't pass build back better then it
looks like Joe Biden is incompetent and
he can't get his party together
now both of those things can be true but
if either one of them is true he's got a
real problem come 20 22.
the notion that this 1.75 trillion
dollar budget plan is suddenly going to
jog the economy is totally crazy it's
not going to jog the economy it's simply
going to be pushing more money into an
economy that's already inflating and Joe
Biden is not making convincing case for
his own agenda so yesterday he was
making the case for a bill back better
again he's on the stump and as I say Joe
Biden on the stump is basically just two
tree stumps on top of each other because
Joe Biden is himself a stump so it's a
stump atop another stump so Joe Biden
from the White House yesterday was
trying to push forward his bill back
better plan he put forward in a a a
framework okay not the actual plan some
people say they'll vote for it or vote
against it it doesn't mean anything
until we actually have all of the
details but he put together a framework
and he basically said I'm skipping town
tomorrow right because today he's headed
over to Europe to jabber with the
Europeans about global warming or some
such
and hang out with the Pope in a
non-televised event and and Joe Biden he
he says I'm gonna dump this framework
out there and then I'm gonna pretend
like we've achieved some sort of grand
progress here here he was yesterday
trying to push Bill back better and of
course he is not an inspiring figure
folks
this framework includes historic
investments in our nation and on our
people
any single element of this framework
would fundamentally be viewed as a
fundamental change in America taking
together they're truly consequential
okay inspiring stuff the words of a of a
charismatic leader there from Joe Biden
I'm sure he's going to start convincing
people maybe if he yells at us maybe
just randomly yells in the middle of
sentences that'll do it
we used to lead the world in educational
achievement
now the organization for economic
cooperation and development ranks
America 35th
out of the 37 major countries when it
comes to investing in Early Childhood
Education and Care
we know how our children start impact
significantly and how they'll finish
he's very angry at you I don't know why
he's angry at you you didn't do it also
Head Start as we'll discuss in a little
bit which is a kind of a big part of
this program they're basically trying to
universalize Head Start Head Starts a
giant fail it's a giant waste of money
okay and then you might think okay well
you have some questions for this guy
because after all he's willing to stand
there and take blow after blow on behalf
of his plans uh nope he is uh he's going
to run away he's Brave to Robin running
away here we go as always
and there's Joe stumbling out of the
room on his way to Europe
what an inspiring figure amazing stuff
okay so
again Joe Biden's plan as of yesterday
was let's get the infrastructure vote
done so he throws out the framework
hoping that the Congressional
progressives will endorse the framework
and feel so comfortable that they then
vote on the infrastructure plan which
takes away all their leverage on the
framework well wrong he was according to
Politico the house voted Thursday night
to temporarily reauthorize
transportation funding abruptly
reversing course after Democratic
leaders earlier vows have passed a
bipartisan Senate approved
infrastructure Bill the move came after
progressives refused for Lent in their
opposition to the 550 billion dollar
infrastructure Bill amid a standoff over
Democrats separate Party Line 1.75
trillion dollar social spending measure
it followed a visit to Capitol Hill by
President Biden who personally asked
house democrats for their support on
both of them nope
nope speaker Nancy Pelosi and her
leadership team were ultimately unable
to win over dozens of Duggan liberals in
time for a Thursday evening vote instead
they're now breaking for the weekend
house liberals said they want to review
the legislative text of the 1.75
trillion dollar social spending
legislation the White House outlined on
Thursday it's like 1600 pages of garbage
and get a commitment of support from
Centrist Senators Joe manchin and
Kirsten Cinema something that you have
not given outright at this point and
again Cinema and Mansion when I say that
they are really on razor's edge here if
young can wins in Virginia they have got
to be looking at their political Futures
and saying if I vote for this thing what
exactly do I get
despite an aggressive whipping campaign
from democratic leaders as many as 30
liberal Democrats threatened to block
the roughly 550 billion dollar senate
pass infrastructure Bill according to
multiple people familiar with the vote
tallying operation
as house Democrats headed home for the
weekend in defeat many were infuriated
and left wondering how they had stumbled
yet again pointing fingers within their
own party
Congressional Progressive caucus
representative pramila jayapal she said
I try to tell anybody who had listened
that we didn't have the votes
she then added we want assurances that
buildback better is going to pass in the
Senate before we commit to actually
passing the infrastructure vote here's
representative Camilla jayapal who on
the left is running things for the
Democratic Party we need to see both
votes on the on the bill back better Act
and the infrastructure Bill moving
forward together
um we also want to see uh the commitment
from the two senators and and frankly
all 50 Senators that they are also
supportive of this framework and that it
will be passed with no undermining in
the Senate
okay so again the progressives are not
going to give up their leverage they've
dug their teeth in
and Biden in Pelosi really can't do much
about that at all other than trying to
get the progressives on board for actual
build back better again the more time
that passes the worse this gets for the
Democrats remember we are now at the end
of October by next week we'll be into
November at the beginning of December
the Democrats face the debt ceiling
again so if they don't actually have a
deal by the time they hit December
Republicans are not extending that debt
ceiling again it's going to have to be
done solely with the the reconciliation
process via solely Democratic votes
so Democrats are in trouble here and
even if they pass this they are in
trouble get some more on this in just
one second first if you're like me you
probably want to make sure that you have
a diversified portfolio but here is the
thing bond yields right now are flatter
than the State of Florida you can only
buy so much gold and savings account are
not even keeping up with inflation
if you don't act inflation to turn your
hard-earned cash into trash so what
exactly should you do economic experts
are suggesting you invest in alternative
assets one that's been getting a lot of
attention lately is Blue Chip art it's
recently grown in volume 2700 beat the S
P 500 between 1995 and 2020 and it has
outperformed every other asset during
Financial downturns in fact Contemporary
Art returned 23.2 percent during periods
with more than three percent inflation
now a lot of people who are very wealthy
have always hedged their portfolio with
art right it's actually a great way of
hedging your portfolio but you're kind
of a normal person you don't have
millions of dollars lying around to buy
a Banksy well now here is the thing
there's a company it's called
masterworks.io they've come up with a
great idea they're selling shares of
million dollar paintings so now you can
invest in the same our billionaires use
to safeguard their wealth with
Masterworks there's a number of great
reasons to do so that the world's only
one billion dollar alternative
investment platform they've securitized
over 80 paintings with the SEC everyday
investors have already invested over 250
million dollars and many of them are Ben
Shapiro show listeners so you will be
joining your friends I've partnered with
Masterworks to get you VIP access
despite the fact I have a waitlist that
gives you Priority Access to their
latest painting to find out what it is
head on over to masterworks.io Ben the
offering sell out fast you don't want to
wait that's masterworks.io Ben before
deciding to invest carefully review the
important disclosures at masterworks.io
disclaimer already so
again the progressives are holding up
the infrastructure bill because they
want more from the build back better
plan here's Bernie Sanders making that
statement yesterday it is amazing how
the Bernie Sanders wing of the
democratic party now has real influence
from day one both of these bills are
linked
I support the infrastructure Bill uh but
I want to see a strong build back better
bill as well and they're linked together
so what you don't want to see is the
infrastructure bill passed and then not
have uh the kind of build back better
bills that we need and that's why you
need 50 members on board before uh there
should be a vote in my view in the house
now Politico is trying to spin this as a
win for Biden somehow but they're trying
to spend his win for Biden is the fact
that pramila jayapala and the CPC put
out a statement on the status of the
buildback better negotiations in which
they said that they overwhelmingly voted
to endorse in principle the entire build
back better act framework announced by
Biden today they say we appreciate the
president's leadership and his
commitment to getting this process over
the Finish Line he reaffirmed as our
caucus has month after month that both
the infrastructure bill and the popular
buildback better act must move together
because they are part of the same agenda
today we are reiterating our
enthusiastic commitment to delivering
that entire agenda to people across
America the reality is that while talks
around the infrastructure Bill lasted
months in the Senate there has only been
serious discussion around the specifics
of the larger buildback better act in
recent weeks thanks to the progressive
caucus holding the line and putting both
parts of the agenda back on the table
now Congress needs to finish the job and
bring both bills to a vote together this
can't be accomplished without
legislative text that can be fully
assessed and agreed upon by all the
parties
so Politico was trying to play this as a
win for Biden because the CPC said that
they agree with the framework but
agreeing with the framework don't mean
squat if they really agreed with the
framework they would have voted on the
infrastructure plan yesterday which they
didn't and answer Pelosi is super pissed
about it according to Politico earlier
in the day until they called the vote
off Thursday evening Pelosi and other
top Democrats had been firm in their
calls to vote projecting confidence
Pelosi teed up a house rules committee
meeting on a bill text that will make up
the base of the social spending Bill
cabinet members outside Advocates also
pushed liberals to back the
infrastructure bill before Biden landed
in Rome Pelosi said quote let's do it in
timely fashion let's not just keep
having postponements and leaving doubt
as to when this would happen
well um nope
so the progressors were like guess what
Nancy we don't work for you she cannot
control our caucus here's Corey Bush the
adjunct member of the squad from
Missouri saying I'm not going to vote
for Bill back better
there are home care workers that came to
me in my district that cried because
they were talking about nobody fights
for us congresswoman you are our
congresswoman will you fight for us I
remember those faces right now I will
not turn my back on those home care
workers I won't turn my back on teachers
and principals I won't turn my back on
on
um uh anyone else in our community we
can't just look at one sect of our
community we have to look at the whole
of it and they deserve this so Corey
Bush I stand with my people all of them
okay so meanwhile
representative ilhan Omar she's doing
the same thing she says both bills were
not on infrastructure
we need to keep the promise
it's made we've been very clear we need
to see the two bills simultaneously used
together yep if there is
urgency in getting this done
the Senators need to understand that
urgency as well and move as urgent as
they want us to move so that we can get
the two legislation
okay so according to punch bowl which is
another DC insidery publication quote
there's no denying Thursday's episode
was an embarrassing setback for
Democrats Biden included Biden was
supposed to help Pelosi Bridge an ugly
split between moderates and progressives
that didn't happen in fact it may be
even worse strangely when Biden met with
house Democrats on Thursday he didn't
ask them to vote for the bipartisan
infrastructure bill which Pelosi was
trying to get to the floor instead the
president urged Rank and file lawmakers
to to back both the infrastructure bill
and the framework for the buildback
better act which the White House
unveiled early that morning Pelosi had
to jump up and say they should vote for
the infrastructure bill first
Progressive notice Biden's in Omission
they later argued that Biden had given
them the green light to say no on
infrastructure so Joe Biden came in like
the senile daughtering fool that he is
and he completely undercut Nancy Pelosi
Pelosi's like we want to give you the
infrastructure win and then they won't
have any leverage on build back better
and we can do exactly what you want Mr
President and Biden came in he's like
well you know you should vote for him
well we made a promise we're gonna vote
for both of them together
and the progressor is like see he's on
our side and Pelosi's like I don't even
know what to do anymore I don't I don't
know
according to Punchbowl this wasn't just
an oversight by Biden the White House
Then adopted a deliberate hands-off
approach to yesterday's scheduled vote
according to democratic lawmakers
and then apparently there's a call
between the White House legislative
director of legislative affairs Louisa
Terrell National Economic Council
director Brian deese seen several senior
White House officials and key Democratic
lawmakers apparently Terrell was
repeatedly asked to spell out their
position on infrastructure
representative Suzanne Del bean from
Washington served the new democrat
Coalition asked straight out whether
Biden wanted house Democrats to vote for
the infrastructure Bill the White House
officials then said they support both
bills which again undercut Pelosi
we would have had a victory today if
only he had asked for it one Democratic
aide Senator Biden
so complete debacle political try to
play his win punch bowl is actually
being a lot more honest but it just once
again demonstrates that this
Administration does not know what the
hell it is doing and they have no
leverage over the progressive members of
their coalition
I think honestly I think that when it
comes right down to it I'm not sure that
Biden even wants to pass the damn thing
I think Biden says he wants to pass the
thing and then he wants to run in 2024
on Republican obstructionism the problem
is he's got a democratic caucus it makes
it so difficult for him in some ways the
worst thing that has happened to Biden
is the fact that Republicans blew both
of those Georgia Senate races because
now there's been an actual ask made of
Democrats if Mitch McConnell running the
Senate we all know this would be DOA but
because it's mansion in cinema it's put
Biden in a box of his own making because
he is not pursuing anything remotely
like a moderate policy and they're
making clear Biden is that so much of
this is is performative
the way that he is marketing Bill back
better is not as a moderate attempt to
shore up holes in the social safety net
he's he's pushing it as a transformative
plan that is going to radically redefine
how economics is done in the United
States
and so maybe his goal is that nothing
passes because then he can say that he
was trying to be transformative and
everybody else failed him because just
like Barack Obama
the president can never fail you can
only fail the president we'll get to
more of this in just one second first
let's talk about a simple fact right now
is a great time to refi your house and
you better do it fast because the FED is
going to begin tapering the mortgage
rates are going to go up next year now
is a really really good time to refi
your mortgage you might be thinking why
your mortgage is fine well what you
should be asking is how your mortgage
could work for you and that answer can
be found at American financing America's
home for home loans
they don't pressure you instead their
salary-based mortgage consultants get to
know you so they can lead you to Greater
overall savings it could be a shorter
loan term or consolidating debt because
there's more to refinance than just a
lower rate it's the reason why they save
customers up to a thousand bucks a month
so why not see what they can do for you
make the 10-minute call right now before
those rates are gone
866-721-3300 that's
866-721-3300 or visit
americanfinancing.net and MLS 1-82334
nmlsconsumeraccess.org again your
biggest monthly bill is undoubtedly your
mortgage if you can lower that why would
you not even like make the call
just give American financing a call
right now at
866-721-3300 that's
866-721-3300 or visit
americanfinancing.net that's
americanfinancing.net alrighty so
Joe Biden again he is pitching this
entire thing as a transformative policy
Americans are not interested in your
stupid transformative nonsense at a
moment when the economy should be
booming but is not thanks to your policy
failures now it is amazing how the media
are reporting that last quarter's
economic downturn was largely due to
Delta not to the policies of the bind
Administration and blue State Governors
we know that's not true because here in
Florida where we have a red State
Governor and we are not paying attention
to anything that Joe Biden has to say
the economy is booming once again I
repeat it is the single most important
economic statistic because of the states
are Laboratories of democracy then their
policies ought to show some differences
if you look at the unemployment rates by
states in the United States right now
I'm looking at the Bureau of Labor
Statistics for September okay here are
the best states in terms of employment
here's the list again I'll do it again
okay Utah okay Nebraska's number one red
Utah Red Idaho red New Hampshire purple
South Dakota red Vermont purple well
Vermont's kind of blue Oklahoma red
Alabama red Georgia red Montana red
North Dakota red Minnesota blue Missouri
red Virginia now turning purple Kansas
Red Wisconsin purple Arkansas Red
Indiana red Iowa red South Carolina
North Carolina red red Kentucky red
Tennessee red Wyoming red okay are you
noticing a pattern here these are all
the best states in terms of unemployment
now let's go to the bottom of the list
okay here are the worst states in terms
of unemployment right now Nevada blue
California blue New York blue New Jersey
blue New Mexico blue Illinois blue
Connecticut Blue Hawaii blue DC blue
okay you noticing a pattern at all here
okay so if this is supposedly just about
Delta why this heavy striation
thanks to
obvious political consideration
especially because Delta this wave hit
the red States okay so if the idea is
the Delta is what hurt the economy you
would expect a massive jump in
unemployment in southern red States
but some of the states that I just read
to you are not Southern I mean are not
uh are some of the states that most of
the states that have high unemployment
rates are not Southern and had no Delta
Spike and a lot of the states that I
read you at the very beginning are
Southern and had serious Delta spikes
right in that list of states that I was
reading to you
was the state of Tennessee major Delta
Spike was the state of Georgia serious
Delta Spike
so what exactly is the deal guys it
looks more like this has less to do with
Delta than it has to do with political
policy
the Democrats have to keep playing
claiming and the media have to repeat it
that the real economic downturn is not
Democratic policy when we all know that
it is and they have to keep claiming
that so we will pretend that Joe Biden's
Master spending plan isn't going to be
just as damaging as the rest of his
garbage agenda so what exactly is in is
a budget framework according to the Wall
Street Journal editorial board
the blueprint the White House released
is more frame than work the jury rig
plan is an enormous expansion of
government with quarter-baked
entitlement programs that will reach
hard work and 1.58 trillion dollars in
tax increases that will distort and
limit investment the 1.75 trillion
dollar cost the Democrats have assigned
is a lie they use phony accounting to
finance a few years of new spending with
10 years of tax increases for example
the plan extends the 3600 child tax
credit for one year at a cost of 110
billion dollars but Democrats are going
to extend it next year
if it's extended for 10 years that would
be 1.1 trillion dollars not 110 billion
dollars so literally they are saying
that the cost of a program they're
extending is 110 billion dollars the
actual cost over 10 years if it were
extended as they hope to do is 1.1
trillion dollars so it's a false sunset
the agreement drops The house's proposed
Medicare vision and dental expansion but
preserves a new hearing benefit which
the White House claims will cost a mere
34 billion dollars and start in 2024.
the annual cost of the hearing benefit
once fully phased in is 16 billion
dollars Congress will make it permanent
true cost 160 billion dollars
and this sort of stuff is true
throughout the bill the real cost is
likely closer to four trillion dollars
than 1.75 at trillion dollars
meanwhile the plan is to ratchet up
taxes in a wide variety of ways
they're trying to claim 400 billion
dollars in revenues from 80 billion
dollars in quote IRS Investments a 66
budget increase for the IRS including
hiring more Auditors does this sound
like fun to you you really want more
Auditors looking down your neck is that
really what like breathing on your neck
that that's what you want more IRS who
in the United States was like you know
we need more of IRS Auditors huge we
need more people at the IRS Americans
hate the IRS and for good reason
by the way to lie that this is going to
claim 400 billion dollars in Revenue the
CBO says this is only going to yield 200
billion dollars in Revenue
and because we're spending 80 billion on
the IRS to build them new toilets it's
actually only going to net about 120
billion dollars to the federal
government
also the 1.85 trillion dollars in tax
increases includes a 15 minimum tax on
book income of large corporations but we
all know what's going to happen here
Democrats are then going to create carve
outs for all their friends
corporations are going to be taxed on
stock BuyBacks so corporations will just
shift the way they pay people from stock
BuyBacks to share dividends
despite its anti-corporate advertising
the bill is a giant boondoggle for it's
basically solyndra
they're they're dedicating 555 billion
dollars for climate spending
investing in Renewables nuclear hydrogen
carbon capture electric vehicles
batteries and transmission lines
that's on top of the tens of billions in
green energy handouts in the Senate
infrastructure bill
hey that's how much of that is going to
be efficient spending the answer is very
little
the truth is that the government invests
in a lot of projects you never see the
benefits of the vast majority of them
and very often it's corrupt we know this
because one Barack Obama tried to do the
exact same thing remember those green
jobs that were supposed to materialize
and turns out it was all just a lie
also we're going to see massive tax
increases a five percent surge tax on
income over 10 million bucks eight
percent over 25 million dollars those
Sur taxes raise the top marginal
personal income tax rate to 45 or so and
in New York and California where you
have state tax on top of that the people
at the top of the tax brackets are going
to be paying 60 New York and California
how many billionaires are going to stick
around in New York and California for
that
see it doesn't make a difference to them
if the marginal tax increase between
like New York and Florida is not all
that great but if you're talking about
the difference between paying say a 45
tax rate and a 60 tax rate get ready red
States for a lot of income because
everybody's going to be moving on down
to Texas and Florida which is the reason
the Nancy pelosian company wanted to
restore the salt deduction right they
wanted to make sure that you paid your
state income tax first so they could
essentially give a subsidy to the blue
States
so the bill is a full-scale disaster and
it's it's filled again with this notion
that there's a great urgency to do all
of this
and I'm sorry but there isn't a great
urgency to do all of this particularly
the 500 billion dollars on climate
change nonsense
I mean that that's the single biggest
part of the bill is 500 billion 555
billion dollars to fight climate change
largely through tax incentives for low
emission sources of energy
okay well here is the thing those tax
incentives for low emission sources of
energy are not going to marginally
they're really not going to any in any
real way lower the carbon emissions
hey people putting solar on their house
is not going to make the the rate of
global warming decrease in any serious
material way over the course of the next
hundred years
what you need is actual Innovation and
Innovation is generally derived from
making things marketable
and not from Simply throwing money at
the problem
they're not even dedicating that 555
billion dollars to to the kind of
infrastructure change that would be
necessary to cope with Rising climate
now you'll remember that last year well
this year actually there's this big
hurricane it swept through the South
remember it's very similar to to
Hurricane Katrina it didn't do nearly as
much damage why because they'd short up
the infrastructure in New Orleans
we should be spending money on that kind
of stuff
like why the Northeast got completely
flooded one of the reasons it got
completely flooded is because the
infrastructure there is not so good
but the progressives are like we're not
going to build that infrastructure
instead we are going to need 555 billion
dollars to pay the schmuck down the
street to get a Tesla
okay but by the way that is not a poor
people thing Teslas are very expensive
subsidizing electric cars are not
something that impoverished people in
this country are deeply worried about
right now
so this is one thing that the the wild
left is very enthusiastic about and they
have to try and scare you into believing
that we need to spend this kind of money
so you have the irrepressible
irredeemable AOC So Fresh So face
faceness and freshness abounding saying
that entire regions of the United States
are going to be unlivable unless she can
put her hand in your wallet take out all
of your money and then hand it to a
bunch of people who vote Democrat
by 2028
crop yields are be are already projected
to begin to fail with famine beginning
to hit the world's most vulnerable
populations by 2038 current U.S drought
fire and extreme heat Trends make will
could potentially make whole regions of
the United States unlivable if we
continue the trends that lobbyists are
trying to to pers have us pursue
who actually believes this
really first of all there are already
regions of the United States where
people don't live okay they're broad
swaths from the west where people just
don't live okay and people will move
people will adapt as they have literally
throughout human history remember there
used to be an actual land bridge between
Asia and the United States and uh and
and North America
it doesn't exist anymore there's there's
a sea over it climate change has been a
perennial of human existence
people have adapted to it
I I am I guess optimistic because now
she's extended her timeline for Doom to
2038 you'll recall that a couple of
years ago she said we had 12 years where
the Earth was going to completely eat us
just gonna open up like that like the
book of of numbers and just swallow us
whole
meanwhile I have Ayanna Presley saying
this is a climate Justice bill this is
not what the word Justice Means guys I
mean like the word justice has a meaning
and when you just add some other word in
front of it
to mean a thing that I like it doesn't
mean anything anymore here's Ayanna
Presley pushing this
one climate scientist said well what do
we do in the next 10 years will matter
for ten thousand years unquote I believe
that what we do in the next 10 days on
infrastructure investments will be the
true predictor of our planet's future
the build back better Act is a climate
Justice Bill and a workers Justice bill
we can and we must act with urgency
thank you and I yield back
climate and workers Justice and
everything Justice and it's so tiresome
it's so tiresome it all is linked
together with the progressive agenda to
call everything what you promised you so
Corey Bush yesterday
she started berating oil Executives uh
by calling them white supremacists
because they drill for oil or something
I don't even understand what she's
talking about now
for years you all have continued to
promote fossil fuels despite knowing
that promoting them means promoting
environmental racism and violence in
black and brown communities you all are
still promoting and selling fossil fuels
that are killing millions of people this
is a striking example of white supremacy
you're a profit-driven choices
threatened my life the lives of my
family my neighbors and our communities
every single day
um I'm sorry oil threatens black
communities every single day
truly you know it seems kind of like
white supremacy to me frankly a bunch of
Upper Crust white liberals in the main
are telling a bunch of countries largely
people of color that they cannot have
Economic Development because we are
deeply concerned that over the course of
the next hundred years they might have
to move their beach houses in the United
States that seems a lot more like white
supremacy Than People drilling for oil
so that people can live and not abject
poverty uh honestly carbon-based fuel is
one of the great discoveries of mankind
and thank God we are now developing
alternative sources of energy people are
buying Tesla like it is good that people
are buying Teslas I'm very much in favor
of it
I'm glad that we're doing fracking
because natural gas is much more it is
much more environmentally friendly than
than oil and coal right like oh that's
true
but the notion that oil executives are
incompleted in white suprem again it is
all just ball everything up in one ball
and we need to redo how the world Works
in one second we're gonna get to the
Democratic perspective on redoing how
the world works because this is really
what it comes down to they want every
single human in the United States to be
dependent on the government they think
that this is a fulfilling life
fulfillment lies in you being dependent
on the government playing husband and
father to you we'll get to more of this

alrighty so again the Democrats are
trying to force through the notion that
this is everything that they are doing
is is required because if not the world
will burn and this is why they're
focusing on climate change everything's
a crisis because whenever you can
declare a crisis this means that you can
take absolute control so over the last
year and a half we had an actual crisis
in the form of a global pandemic that's
killed millions of people but nobody I
mean but nobody actually thinks that
climate change over the course of the
next century is a crisis it may be a
problem it might be a serious problem
that we need to deal with no one thinks
it's a crisis that requires us to dump
out trillions of dollars from a piggy
bank that does not exist into an economy
that's already overheated nobody thinks
that but Democrats have to ratchet up
the rhetoric so you get a piece like
this from The New York Times today when
the world is on the brink 3.5 trillion
dollars is a pittance a pittance by
Abram lustgarten environmental reporter
for propublica wildlife organization
there will be no Bargains with an
overheating climate the 3.5 trillion
dollar price tag that President Biden
proposed for his climate heavy build
back better act might seem enormous but
over the long term it will be be a
pittance what we don't spend now will
cost us much more later the bills for
natural disasters and droughts and power
outages are already pouring in within a
few decades the total bill will be
astronomical as energy debts surge
global migration swells industrial
upheaval follows the scale of the threat
Demands a new way of thinking about
spending past budgets can no longer
guide how governments spend money in the
future some economists and climate
scientists have calculated climate
change could cost the United States the
equivalent of nearly force of nearly
four percent of its gross domestic
product a year by 2100. four percent is
likely a conservative estimate that
comes out to about 840 billion dollars
per year for percent of the American GDP
if figured on last year's economy okay
well um let's say that that's true four
percent of the American GDP that's 840
billion dollars per year I noticed that
you guys are attempting to spend like a
multiple of that
I noticed that that we are going to have
a four trillion dollar budget that we
are going to have dumped out 1.9
trillion dollars earlier this year that
we spent seven trillion dollars last
year I've noticed that um and and so
your notion is we should spend much more
money than it's going to cost us
and uh again this all of this neglects
the fact that there is going to be
future economic growth and if you crimp
the plan right if you crimp economic
growth with regulation and Taxation you
end up doing is lowering a growth curve
so if you say four percent of annual GDP
you have to estimate how much that
annual GDP is going to be if the
original curve is going to be high and
now you've lowered the curve okay that
curve lowering itself is a major cost
this is something that Bjorn Lombard is
constantly pointing out over at the Wall
Street Journal he says the adaptation
doesn't make the cost of global warming
go away entirely but it does reduce it
dramatically higher temperatures will
shrink Harvest if Farmers keep growing
the same crop but they are likely to
adapt corn production in North America
has shifted away from the southeast and
toward the Upper Midwest when sea levels
rise governments build defenses like
levees flood walls and drainage systems
that protected New Orleans for much of
hurricane Ida's ferocity this year
nonetheless many in the media push
unrealistic projections of climate
catastrophes while ignoring adaptation
this is correct of course
you can see how far from reality these
sorts of projections are in one heavily
cited study depicted in a graph if you
assume that no Society will adapt to any
sea level rise between now and 2100
you'll find that vast areas of the world
will be routinely flooded causing 55
trillion dollars in damage annually in
2100 or about five percent of global GDP
but as the study emphasizes in reality
societies are likely to adapt
by raising the head of dikes the study
shows Humanity can negate almost all of
that only 15 000 people would be flooded
every year which is a remarkable
Improvement compared with the 3.4
million people flooded in 2000. the
total cost of damage investments in new
dikes and maintenance costs of existing
dikes will fall six-fold between now and
2100 to .008 of world GDP so in other
words you can do something about climate
change but it does not require this
garbage so what is this really about
what this is really about is making
people dependent on the government so
the White House put forward another one
of these absurd I mean it's just absurd
slideshows now you remember back in 2012
Barack Obama was pushing very hard on
spending on social policy and he put out
something called the life of Julia and
the life of Julia was roundly mocked
because it showed Julia as this woman
who was utterly dependent on government
her entire life and it was openly mocked
it was mocked on late night TV
it was mocked by everybody on the right
most people in the center thought it was
stupid now the Biden Administration is
bringing it back like I don't know who
there was like life of Julia was great
now we need a sequel life of Linda so
this is what they did they put together
something called life of Linda and I got
to tell you Linda leads a pretty sad
life
Linda's life according to this is really
pathetic
number one Linda is pregnant and there's
no father anywhere in the picture
always always and forever the government
is Dad the government is Dad this is the
goal right welfare policy it's a
substitute for father
okay so here is the life of Linda as
presented by the Biden White House right
you're supposed to be optimistic about
this and excited about this this is what
you can hope for from Life Linda is a
working mother in Peoria Illinois she
works at a local manufacturing facility
as a production worker and earns forty
thousand dollars per year she is
pregnant with her son Leo okay so this
is I I love how they have to just
violate all stop the gender stereotyping
she's a production worker with a hard
hat in the she's not a teacher or
something right okay so we'll start with
that there are of course there are women
in manufacturing I'm just saying that
heavy manufacturing is is
stereotypically a male industry and they
know that which is why they did this
once Leo is born father nowhere in the
picture by the way Linda begins
receiving child tax credits of 300 per
month 3 600 annually to help cover
essential costs like groceries rent
medicine I have a question uh how much
is that going to help if the inflation
outpaces the child tax credit also
if she does not have to work in order to
receive the child tax credit how's that
going to impact the hours that she takes
on at the manufacturing facility is she
just going to stay out of the workforce
considering there are a bevy of other
benefits available to Linda
but don't worry the government will step
in regardless
as Leo grows up says the White House the
government helps cover the cost for his
daycare guaranteeing that Linda doesn't
need to pay more than seven percent of
her income on child care well that's
exciting so we are going to also make
sure that Leo can grow up in a
government facility
right because again Linda's not married
so there are no options for Linda to
stay home with the with the kid
so that's great when Leo turns three he
attends a high quality pre-k program for
free
um I have my doubts I have my doubts we
were told that the public schools we're
going to be a high quality program for
free nope
America's public schools are a giant
fail the only public schools that are
good are the ones that are locally
driven by excellent parents
that's that's the big defining Factor
Pre-K Universal Pre-K has been a giant
fail
hey the the Head Start program which
this is modeled on
has poor outcomes
and they're pretty clear about this
being modeled on Head Start
the Head Start program according to the
Heritage Foundation was launched in 1965
enrolling 560 000 kids in the new
federally funded eight-week summer
program at the time proponents were
clear that head start's sole purpose was
to prepare children for elementary
school unfortunately more than half a
century later it sucks the Department of
Health and Human Services which
administers Head Start revealed in
December 2012 that the nearly eight
Billion Dollar Head Start program has
little to no impact on the cognitive
social emotional or health outcomes for
participants or the parenting skills of
their parents in fact participation in
Head Start actually had some negative
effect on enrolled children Federal
researchers reported worse pure
relations and lower teacher assessed
math ability for Head Start kids
so more cowbell always more cowbell
also the government accountability
office found several Head Start centers
around the country actively counseling
families to under-report their incomes
in order to appear eligible for the
services so they were facilitating fraud
among the 175 Head Start centers
inspected by the Inspector General none
fully complied with Federal Head Start
or state requirements to protect
children from from unsafe materials and
Equipment 21 of 24 grantees did not
fully comply with Federal Head Start or
state requirements to conduct criminal
records checks conduct recurring
background checks document criminal
records checks conduct checks of child
care exclusion lists or conduct checks
of child abuse and neglect registries
and we keep spending money on it so
they're like what if we do that okay so
back to the White House plan here so
you've got a little kid going through
the full-scale government program all
the way through
and it doesn't end there there's more
benefits cradle to grave they're not
hiding the ball it's all Cradle to grave
stuff from this administration of course
because this is the goal the end goal is
to reorient how Americans interact with
the government
this is Joe Biden's plan is anybody up
for this you wonder why Glenn Younkin is
winning in Virginia might have something
to do with this okay so back to Leo's
story so here's what we know about Leo
born to a single mom because daddy is
nowhere in the picture
he's been in government schooling since
he was three when Leo leaves high school
he's able to enroll in community in a
community college thanks to Extended
Pell Grants and investments in Community
College so apparently Leo is uh is is
not one of the bright eggs so he goes to
the Community College and requires a
Pell Grant in order to do so and then
this is my favorite part of the whole
presentation thanks to Community College
Leo lente good paying union job as a
wind turbine technician
oh will he is that going to be a rich
industry wind turbine technician
honestly God I don't know how many how
many wind turbine technicians are there
how many people work in the wind
industry in the United States
apparently there are currently 85 000
Americans currently employed in the wind
power industry and related fields
85 000. there are 330 million people but
apparently we're all going to be working
at win at win Farms that's what we're
gonna be doing and a union job right
it's gonna be a union job
it's gonna be an expensive boondoggle so
he's gonna be working for the government
effectively because if you're working on
a wind turbine Farm there's a very good
shot that that is a government
subsidized job
Leo's job is one of four million new
jobs a year supported by President
Biden's economic plan right so that
there it is so Joe Biden is going to
quote unquote create jobs by subsidizing
giveaway goodies to Union buddies and
Leo's gonna work for one of those people
later in life Linda needs home care and
hearing care thanks to President Biden's
plan Linda can access affordable Hearing
Care through Medicare and Leo is able to
afford at home elder care for his mom
okay so that's again very exciting stuff
so the government is going to pay for
Linda to get hearing care because
apparently no elderly people in the
United States have Hearing Care
that's a new one to me because my
grandmother does actually both
grandmothers do outside of Medicare and
um and also apparently Leo was going to
leave Mom to rot but now that now that
he's got this subsidy to a union home
health care worker he's going to pay for
all that so again this is this is the
ideal life according to the Democrats at
no point is there any upward trajectory
or upward Mobility you basically just
stagnate in your lower middle class life
working as a wind turbine technician not
a government subsidy going to community
like what what an enriching and
wonderful life that sounds like isn't
that great what an enriching wonderful
exciting life for the life of Linda
again these are these are very humble
I would say these are pretty humble
aspirations for both Leo and Linda
they also don't have the slide where
where Leo having been brought up in a
government facility all of his life goes
out in the streets and starts burning
down government buildings because he's
very upset that the United States is
systemically racist and unjust
that part they didn't they didn't tell
you about because that part's a little
awkward but right it was right before he
went to Community College and also
before he got the wins her bond job Leo
gotta love the fictional stories see in
in the original American Vision the
American dream was Linda works hard she
works a job and she works difficult and
long hours but she also takes care of
her kid and she's married so her husband
is around to help and they together
invest enormous time and effort in their
son Leo Leo goes on to create a new good
product or service
and he then proceeds to start a business
where he hires lots of other people he
becomes inordinately wealthy having made
the country that much better off through
his own Innovative skill and risk-taking
right that used to be the American dream
if you were to tell the Horatio Alger
story of the American dream that was the
American dream and that's true for so
many Americans because the fact is the
vast majority of people who start at the
bottom of the American Income Spectrum
do not end up at the bottom of the
American Income Spectrum people tend to
rise over the course of their life this
is why older people are richer than
younger people in the United States
but that's not the story the Democrats
wish to hell they wish to tell you the
story about a lower income lower middle
income person middle income person who
stays a lower middle income person and
lives their life completely dependent on
government largesse
if that sounds like an inspiring life
story to you
I don't know what to tell you you should
be hoping for more you should be
aspiring for more
it's um
it it is just amazing to me that this is
what the Biden Administration seems to
want to push
that this is the life that they seem to
want you to have
so
so wonderful so wonderful meanwhile as
they impoverish you
and as they tell you that we're going to
have to lower our economic estimates
because of climate Justice and
environmental justice and white
supremacy and all the rest of the silly
Progressive buzzwords
as they tell you then the best you can
hope for is to one day work at a wind
turbine factory with a government
unionized job
as they do that they are given lottery
tickets to uh illegal immigrant families
that's exciting stuff according to the
Wall Street Journal
the United States is currently in talks
to pay hundreds of millions of dollars
to families separated at the border
hey again this is kind of incredible
and so so Americans are experiencing
wild out of control inflation
there are 10 million open jobs and
people aren't getting back in the
workforce we have supply chain
bottlenecks Joe Biden is pledging to
basically lower his economic growth
estimates to below two percent a year
for the rest of time
but we have enough money in the bank to
be paying I kid you not 450 000 per
person in compensation to Immigrant
families separated by the Trump
Administration
there are several agencies working to
resolve lawsuits filed on behalf of
parents and children who say the
government subjected them to Lasting
psychological trauma the US Departments
of Justice Homeland Security and health
and human services are considering
payments that could amount to close to
one million dollars a family
though the final numbers could shift
people familiar with the matter said
most of the families that cross the
border illegally from Mexico to seek
asylum in the United States included one
parent and one child the person said
many families would likely get smaller
payments depending on their
circumstances the ACLU has identified
about 5 500 kids separated at the border
over the course of the Trump
Administration citing figures provided
to it by the government
the number of families eligible under
the potential settlement is expected to
be smaller about 940 claims have so far
been filed by the families the potential
payout could be a billion bucks or more
so remember there's a zero tolerance
enforcement policy in which the United
States would not just release illegal
immigrants into the interior of the
United States after giving them a piece
of paper saying come back in a month
the the Trump Administration said we're
not doing that if you come you will be
held until you actually have your Asylum
date until we find out whether you are
here or whether whether you're for good
reason or whether you're just trying to
cross the border illegally now there was
something called the Flores element the
Florida settlement said the kids could
not be held with their parents in
confinement so instead kids were
separated from parents very often they
were handing handed to a relative
sometimes they'd be put in a holding
facility for a little while right but
that was because of the Florida
settlement it was defined by law the two
choices were released the entire family
unit into the interior or two don't and
you have to separate the kids from the
parents by law because of the stupid
Flora settlement
so that's what the Trump Administration
did now if you were one of the illegal
immigrants who came with your kid and
your kid was separated from you the
government is going to sign you a 450
000 check per person
so for your kid and for you
so not only did you get to enter the
United States illegally
you also get a giant check from the US
government signed by the taxpayer
isn't that exciting stuff from the Biden
Administration
the lawsuits allege some of the children
suffered from a range of ailments
including heat exhaustion and
malnutrition were kept in freezing cold
rooms and provided little medical
attention
that is indeed terrible you know what
else is a really bad idea paying people
for the separation of the family
required by law when they cross the
border you want to incentivize illegal
immigration don't just say come on over
here and we got a bunch of free welfare
benefits and we're not going to kick you
out say if we happen to separate you
because we have to by law we will sign
you a million dollar check
that's crazy towns
in recent months lawyers for the
families in government have told courts
overseeing cases they're engaged in
settlement negotiations
legal earned deputy director of the ACLU
says quote President Biden has agreed
that the family separation policy is a
historic moral stain on our nation that
must be fully remedied
that remedy must include not only
meaningful monetary compensation but a
pathway to remain in the country
so again remember that they are not only
pushing for a giant check they're also
pushing for people to just get to stay
here
in his first weeks in office Biden
pledged to reunite the separated
families by the way not all the families
have been reunited even still
Senator Tom Cotton said the Biden
administration's Promises of citizenship
and entitlement programs have already
caused the worst border crisis in
history a huge cash reward will make it
even worse
some government lawyers view the payoffs
as excessive for people who had violated
the law by crossing the border one
government lawyer threatened to remove
his name from the case out of
disagreement with the potential
settlement to offer
in another instance the Department of
Homeland Security attorney involved in
the settlement talks complained on a
conference call the payouts could amount
to more than some families of 9 11
victims received
so if that's the case I mean think about
the insane moral logic of that you cross
the border illegally with your kid
because you're attempting to get into
the country illegally
you're separated the government says
here's a million dollar check and you
get to stay in the country
now you're a family member of somebody
who got vaporized on 911 by a terror
attack on the World Trade Center you got
a lower check then the illegal immigrant
who just crossed the border for pain and
suffering
that's unbelievable
trying to take the cases trial would be
unpredictable with juries potentially
awarding larger sums to the family said
legal experts damage class actions in
this kind of case are pretty rare it's
hard to think of a recent comparison
said Margo schlanger who ran the civil
rights office during the Obama
Administration
it's a complicated complex piece of
litigation to try to resolve hundreds of
different lawsuits at the same time
sometimes even more complex to try the
cases
many of the families filed tort claims a
type of civil claim seeking damages for
loss or harm some of the cases were
resolved under the Trump Administration
in a 2019 settlement in New Jersey for
example an adult and a minor received a
total of 125 thousand dollars
many of those cases were still pending
at the start of the Biden Administration
but again the fact that this
Administration is now considering a
widespread policy of just giving money
to people for this sort of thing like
pretty insane making illegal immigrant
families Rich making American families
poor that is a hell of an making
everybody dependent illegal non-illegal
everybody dependent on the federal
government
you wonder why the economic Bloom is
stalling out you wonder why a feeling of
innervation has settled across the
American population when it comes to
work this would be the reason
you have an entire side of the political
aisle in the United States that
basically now says that work is
unnecessary you shouldn't aspire to
anything the government will take care
of you Cradle to grave if you don't want
to vote for that and vote for Glenn
young can if you're in Virginia and if
you don't like it don't vote for
Democrats across the country in 2022. I
still think that most Americans have
aspirations to live more than the life
of Linda
if that's the case then Democrats have a
real cruising coming to them then
Democrats have a real bruising coming to
them in 2022. already we've reached the
