1. Biden Autopen Investigation
-
The podcast centers on Rep. James Comer and the House Oversight Committee’s probe into whether Joe Biden used an autopen to sign official documents (pardons, executive orders) during his presidency.
-
Witnesses, including aides and staff, invoked the Fifth Amendment, raising suspicions of a cover-up.
-
Comer argues this indicates Biden may not have been in full command during parts of his presidency, tying the issue to broader concerns about his cognitive fitness.
2. Government “Weaponization” Theme
-
The narrative expands to claims that the federal government was “weaponized” under Obama and Biden, filled with liberal activists pushing political agendas.
-
It frames whistleblower accounts and oversight investigations as evidence of political retaliation and deep state influence.
3. Crime Data Manipulation in Washington, D.C.
-
The House Oversight Committee also launched an investigation into allegations that DC police officials downgraded serious crimes (like stabbings and carjackings) to make statistics appear better.
-
This is tied to Trump’s agenda of addressing crime and paints Democrats as dishonest about public safety.
4. Broader Political Rhetoric
-
The commentary frequently contrasts Republicans (law and order, accountability) with Democrats (cover-ups, manipulation, crime leniency).
-
It suggests Democrats oppose efforts to fight crime and links this issue to racial impacts, particularly in cities with high African American populations.
5. Economic Policy and the Federal Reserve
-
The latter part of the document discusses interest rates, Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech, and the Trump administration’s position.
-
Commentators like Peter Navarro and Charles Payne argue that Powell has belatedly admitted Trump’s stance was correct—interest rates are too high and harming the economy.
-
The analysis frames potential rate cuts as a validation of Trump’s economic approach, benefiting average Americans.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Joe Biden autopen investigation continues to heat up. The
headlines describe exactly what the game plan is of those
that were around Joe Biden and just how massive the
cover up actually is. Whether it's the AP saying quote
Joe Biden aid invokes fifth to decline testimony and investigation,
(00:21):
or the Guardian Republican leading inquiry into Biden's autopen use
has digitally signed letters, or even the Daily Beast James
Comber announces new investigation into Biden over the use of
the autopen. Well, we now have new information as James
Comer sat down with Fox News Sunday, and here is
part of what he had to say about it. The
(00:42):
assessment that Biden staffords are deliberately refusing to answer questions
about the autopen use and providing extraordinary levels of obfuscation.
Now James Comer seems to be really hammering in on
the facts and continuing to press the investorstigation into whether
Biden used an autopen to sign documents like pardons, raising
(01:06):
major concerns about who may have truly been in charge
during the final days, weeks, or months of the Joe
Biden presidency. Now in May of this year, Comer initiated
a fresh probe. He issued letters to key aids, including
many of those close to President in non political roles
for example, like Biden's physician, doctor Kevin O'Connor, and warning
(01:29):
of subpoenas if they don't cooperate. Fast forward to June
of this year, testimony from several raised major red flags,
some admitting limited direct interaction with Biden and no insight
into the autopen approval process, suggesting a total lack of
transparency or oversight. And then the Fifth Amendment invocations continued.
(01:54):
On July the sixteenth, a former aid to First Lady
Joe Biden invoked the Fifth the Mania during his Oversight
Committee appearance, becoming the second such individual in the probe
to do so. Comber responded by stating that the public
is concerned about unaccountable decision making within the White House.
In other words, who was actually in charge. The bottom
(02:17):
line is clear representative. Comer asserts he now has unprecedented
evidence of a cover up involving the autopen use and
Biden's cognitive decline. Now, this is what he had to
say on Fox Sunday Morning.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
This week, the House Oversight Committee is set to continue
its investigation into Joe Biden's mental fitness during his presidency
when former White House Deputy Assistant Andrew Bates sits down
for an interview on Friday. Former White House Press Secretary
Kareeine Jean Pierre, and former White House Chief of Staff
Jeff Zience are also slated to peer before the committee
(02:55):
in coming weeks. Joining me now with more on his
investigation into former President Biden and in the chairman is
the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman James Comer.
It's great to have you with us this morning.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I want to get the latest on the investigation, Congressman,
but also what we've heard so far, key figures, taking
the fifth key figures that day after day said that
Biden was totally fit and ready to do the job.
Now saying they really didn't spend that much time with him.
The testimony doesn't add up with what we saw.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Something is awry here, something's definitely awry.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Look when you have Ian SAMs, who was the face
of the White House response to the very damaging report
that said that Joe Biden was a forgetful old man.
He was the face of the White House response to
our investigation Byron Donalds and myself as well as all
the members of the House Oversy Committee, when we found
(03:53):
that China had in fact wired money to LLC's owned
by Biden family members. He was the one that would
always respond and say he talked to Joe Biden, Joe
Biden was vibrant, Joe Biden did not do this, The
families sayesn't, and then come to find out when we
put him under oath, he admits, well, I only saw
Joe Biden two times over a two year period. That's unprecedented.
(04:15):
We're trying to get to the bottom of who was
operating the autopen and and we've brought in a dozen
people so far, and they're all pointing the fingers at
other people, the ones that I think may have a
little more knowledge. They pled the Fifth to avoid self incrimination.
So I think what you're gonna see iss unless John
Pierre and some of these others come in and, you know,
(04:38):
tell us more. It's becoming very apparent that Joe Biden
really wasn't the one in command at the end of
his presidency. And that's important because you're talking about thousands
of pardons and dozens of executive orders that were signed
with that autopen, and it appears without President Biden's knowledge.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Absolutely, I want to move to this ten FBI whistleblowers.
They they warned of political weaponization, and they also say
that they faced retaliation from the Biden administration. We've been
talking about this weaponization as a theme. It touches so
many different aspects of what we've discussed just this morning alone.
But it also shows you that it's not just the
(05:16):
president who has faced this. It flows into all different
levels and to everyday people that are just trying to
serve and do their duties.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Well, look, the government is comprised of an overwhelming number
of liberals, an overwhelming number of activists. During the Obama
and Biden years, the government number swelled of liberal activists
that came in. Whether they worked for the EPA or
whether they worked for the Department of Justice or the FBI,
they had an agenda. They weren't necessarily public servants. The
(05:49):
ones that rose to the top were activists, and these
activists tried to weaponize the federal government in various forms,
whether to enact policy or whether to ruin the lives
of people or influence elections as we've seen. So now
we have people in place like Tulca Gabbert and John
Ratcliffe and Cash Betail who are exposing this. Congress has
(06:09):
exposed this, the House Oversught Committee is exposed to the
Judiciary Committee under Jim Jordan's exposed it. Now we need accountability,
and I'm hopeful that Pam Bondy will take this evidence
and her Department of Justice will start holding people accountable.
And we're seeing President Trump be more active on truth
social encouraging his own Department of Justice to hold people
accountable for wrongdoing. And I think it's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
And I think it's going to happen very clearly. James
Comer sharing unprecedented details surrounding the by not open investigation
and also what the White House is doing to hold
people accountable as well. This is exactly what so many
Americans voted for and why I think there's many in
Washington right now, in the Deep State that are very
concerned about what's happening now. By the way, Comber wasn't
(06:55):
done there. He also was asked this question listen carefully.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And the weapon is is really interesting because in some
ways it serves as a distraction. Look over here, so
you're not really focusing on what was over here. Many
Americans want to know what went on with Special Counsel
Jack Smith going after the president. They want to know
about Jim Comey and John Brennan and Russiagate and where
the accountability is in those instances.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I completely agree, as I travel Kentucky as well as
all across America. That's the biggest question I get from people.
When are people going to be held accountable for this wrongdoing?
The evidence that the investigations are complete, more and more
evidence is surfacing.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
One of the limiting.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Factors we had, whether it was Jim Jordan's Weaponization Subcommittee
or my House Oversight Committee, was the fact that the
Bideny administration wouldn't turn over documents. Now we've got Trump
administration officials lack Cash, Mattel and like John Ratcliffe and
Tulsea Gabbart who are making public these documents. So I
think the case now for the Department of Justice, Trump's
(07:56):
Department of Justice, Pam Body's Department Justice is now there
to hold these people account. When I think you're seeing
more hints from President Trump that the day of accountability
is near, and hopefully this is going to set an
example for future people in the government never to let
this deep state rise again and to try to weaponize
(08:17):
the government to punish your enemies or to enact liberal
legislative agendas like the Green New Deal.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
On Tuesday, Sir, House members are going to meet with
Epstein victims. How is that going to play into how
the Department of Justice is handling this As Americans have
said they want to see the files and I want.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
To command the Department Justice.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Pam Bondis has started turning over those documents to the
House Oversite Committee is subpoena those documents. The Trump administration
is cooperating with us. We're bringing in the families and
the attorneys of the victims Tuesday afternoon to talk to
the House oversighte Committee. This will be Republicans and Democrats
because we're going to make this information public. That's what
(09:03):
the American people want. When we travel around all of
our districts. That's one of the things that people ask,
when are we going to see the Epstein files. But
it's very complicated because there are victims of the Epstein
files and we want to listen to those victims and
their families and their attorneys to see how best can
we present this information. Do they want their names redacted?
Do they not want their names redacted? And that's so
(09:25):
that's one of the things that President Trump's talked about,
like this is a lot more complicated than then. A
lot of people want to realize there are victims that
are involved here, and we want to protect their their
futures and their reputations and their families. So we're going
to have a good conversation to see how best then
to turn around and present this information to the American
(09:46):
people and hopefully put this issue to rest so Congress
can focus on passing the spending bill and working with
President Trump to reduce crime in our big cities.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Translation, it is a very big week in Washington, d C.
And James Comer helping lead the way on the House side.
Many Democrats on the Senate side are worried about the
Republicans there, and the media is obviously terrified what's happening
at the White House, at the DOJ and the FBI.
I want to talk to you about my friends over
at Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of choices for
(10:17):
cell phone service with new ones popping up all the time.
But if you want to make a difference and you
want to stop giving your money to liberal companies, well,
one way you can do that is by getting rid
of Liberal Mobile you probably have right now. That is
where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now coming together
and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've
(10:39):
been in service now for thirteen years, and right now
is the best time ever to switch, because it's never
been easier. Now, before I tell you about that, I
want you to know why switching is so important. Because
every time you make a call, every time you send
a text, and every time that you pay your bill,
you're actually standing up for the values you believe in.
Your first and your safe to mimic rights, the rights
(11:02):
of unborn children, and you stand with our military, our veterans,
our wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot
Mobile takes about five percent of your bill every month
at no extra cost to you, and they give it
back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now,
let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You
can keep your same number, keep your same phone, or
(11:24):
upgrade Patriot Mobile's got a one hundred percent US based
customer service team and literally they can now with technology
get you activated in minutes from the comfort of your
home or your office. You're second to contract or owe
money on your phones, no worries. Patriot Mobile has a
contract buyout program and this is how we win, folks
by aligning our spinning with our values. Every dollar we
(11:47):
spend matters. Now, let me also give you a free
month of service. Go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson.
That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson, or you can
call them nine to seven to two Patriot. Use the
promo code ferguson and you're gonna get one month free
service by switching today. So again, Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson.
(12:11):
Use the promo code ferguson. You'll get a free month
of service today Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine
to seven to two Patriot. If you're a Democrat, what
is the easiest way to make crime go down?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Well, apparently it's not actually fighting crime.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You just change and alter the stats to make it
look like a city is getting safer. We now know
that the Congressional Oversight probe is official, and the House
Oversight Committee, led by Representative James Comer, has launched an
investigation into what they described as quote disturbing allegations that
(12:46):
the DC Metropolitan Police Department intentionally manipulated crime data to
paint a rosier picture of public safety than what the
reality was on the ground.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Another way of putting.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
It is they would change and alter the way they
would report on serious crimes to make you feel like
it's safer of a city than it really was. How
do we know this? A whistleblower reportedly told the committee
that crime statistics were manipulated on a widespread basis and
that the direction of supervisory officials potentially affecting all seven
(13:25):
patrol districts in the District of Columbia. The Justice Department
has a criminal inquiry now, and the US Attorney's Office
for the District of Columbia, under US Attorney Jeanine Pirino
you know her as Judge Janin from Fox News Channel,
has initiated a criminal investigation into whether the DC police
(13:46):
officials systematically quote altered crime reports to artificially suppress violent
crime rates. This probe was triggered by the suspension in
May of the command who led the third District in
DC and is accused of downgrading serious instances such as
(14:07):
stabbings and carjackings to make the crime stats look better,
Which brings us to James Comer. He went on Fox
News Channel and a linked the interview explaining exactly what's
going on. I want you to hear what he had
to say. Take a listen to this.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
Furthering President Trump's efforts to crack down on crime in
our nation's capital. According to a report, House Republicans already
with a slew of DC crime bills. The House Oversight
Committee is also launching an investigation into possible crime data manipulation.
Here now with more House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comber
(14:46):
chairman said, thanks so much for joining us. Most people
don't realize, but the chairman of the Oversea Committee has
jurisdiction on the White House. They also have jurisdiction on Washington,
d C. So this idea that these crime data had
potentially been manipulated, what have you seen? Where is this going?
(15:06):
What are you looking for?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Well, first of all, for those of us who have
lived in Washington, d C. Over the past several years,
especially the past twelve months, we don't see any reduction
in crime. But yet that's been the talking point for
the liberal media, for the Democrats in Washington because they
knew that President Trump campaigned and said he would do
whatever it takes to get the crime crisis under control.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
In Washington, d C.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
So lo and behold the Washington d C. Statisticians come
out and say, oh, crime's down fifty percent, carjackings are
down fifty percent, when we see on the news every
day multiple carjackings, homicides every day. The employees in our
congression officers look out the window at all hours of
the night and see kids running around spray painting, breaking things,
(15:51):
stealing things. What we see is not what the statistics reflected.
So we've seen time and time again where Democrats collude
with people in the government who do things like the
census and do things like recording statistics, that we have
reason to believe that they've been lying about these statistics
to have a talking point to try to prevent Donald
(16:14):
Trump from doing exactly what he's doing, and that is
sending the National Guardian to control the out of control
crime in Washington, d C. So that's one thing we're
working on the other thing. As you mentioned, we're working
with the White House now on several bills that were
pertain to reining in the out.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Of control crime in Washington, d C.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
This is based on a city that is passed excessive
criminal justice reform to the point to where you don't
get arrested unless you commit a murder. And we've seen
time and time again people get caught for carjacking in
the morning, they get let out, and by that afternoon
and evening they've tried to carjack again. So these are
the issues we're working with the White House, and I
(16:54):
think September is going to be a very busy month
for the House Oversight Committee as we work with President
Trump to try to legislation to reduce crime in.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Washington, d C.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Yeah, you want to see liberals and Democrats square and
wait till these bills start coming up on the floor.
Are you going to vote in favor of or against?
You know, cashless bail and these types of debates on
the floor are just going to be right because there's
one party that's for law and order, that's Republicans. There's
one party that's against it, that's the Democrats. And when
you all start putting those bills up on the floor
(17:24):
and you have to fort and you force people to vote,
that's going to be highly entertaining, and not just entertaining,
it'll be illumative. It'll illuminate the problem and the difference
between the political parties. One last quick question, Chairman, is
this also these crime statistics.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I look at.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Chicago, I look at la I look at California. I
don't believe that what this they're doing is that something
else that the committee can get after, because the crime stats,
I'm telling you, they don't get they're not on there
if they don't get reported, and then they brag about
how crime is but everybody knows that's not true.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Everybody knows it. Whether you're in Louisville, Kentucky, whether you're
in Chicago, Illinois, all the big cities in America are
facing a crime crisis. Because we have liberal prosecutors, we
have liberal judges. We've taken criminal justice reform to the excesses.
People aren't being held accountable for crimes. Therefore more people
are committing crimes. I think if we can prove that
(18:24):
Washington d C. Has been dishonest with their statistics. We'll
take this show on the road to other cities because
we've got to get serious about crime. The American people
expect somebody to do something about it. The Democrats aren't
doing anything about it. President Trump is, and the Republicans
in Congress hopefully we'll be too.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You notice one of the most important things that was
said there by James Comer was we're going to take
this show on the road. He is echoing what the
President of the United States of America has said. If
Democrats refuse to keep Americans safe, the federal government is
going to do everything in their power to actually keep
you safe, and they're not going to back down. Now
this this also is a disaster politically for Democrats. Why
(19:04):
would you want to be so against actually fighting crime
but apparently willing to lie and alter crime statistics when
you know that that is not giving a real sense
of safety for the people that you claim to care about.
Let's also just talk about the racial aspect of this
for a moment.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
The majority of people.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That are dying in many of the cities that are
the most dangerous in America or African Americans, they claim
that black lives matter.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
If black lives actually.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Mattered, then why on earth would they not do everything
they can to stop crime the way that the President
of United States of America is wanting to do it.
By the way it's working in DC, it is a
perfect model to roll out in Baltimore, New Orleans, in
Memphis and Chicago, in any major city that is filled
(19:57):
with violent criminals. It is now to bely frustrating if
you live in one of those cities and you now
know clearly that the government that you elected is deliberately
not keeping you safe and maybe lying about how dangerous
the city actually is instead of actually fighting the criminals.
(20:18):
And this is what the President is clearly going to do.
The President is going to expose this. James Comer is
going to expose it. They're going to go to these
cities and say we are here to help. And the
question you need to ask is why are your local
elective officials fighting us? Now, this is going to be
a political showdown, and the question is who's going to
(20:39):
win the hearts and minds of the people in these cities.
My money is on President Donald Trump. I know that
Donald Trump has been saying for quite some time that
he believes that interest rates are far too high, holding
back America's economy and making it harder for Americans to
own a home and to borrow money for small business
loans and things like that. Well, there's been a war
(21:01):
with Jerome Powell, and Jerome Powell actually opened the door
finally to cuts in his August to twenty second Jackson
Whole speech, saying quote conditions may warrant easing soon and
stressing the Fed will move carefully based on inflation and
the softening labor market. Now, part of this revolved around
(21:24):
the real concern in the labor market. There are real
worries and stress tests. Powell highlighted the job market as
quote red flags, reinforcing why a cautious cut could now
finally be on the table. CBS News even reporting on this,
saying the inflation risks still matter, saying he flagged terror
(21:47):
related prices pressuring the related FED and said that look,
we're trying to do what we've got to do. They
won't allow a quote one time price bump to become
persistent inflatation, so deep rapid cuts are quote unlikely as well. Now,
the market reaction to this was interesting. Stocks rallied Friday
(22:09):
on the Davis tone then cooled at Monday's open as
enthusiasm faded for what he actually said. Now, I want
you to actually hear the reality of the situation. Peter
Navarro at the White House talking on Fox Business Jennal
with Maria Bartiromo, and I want you to hear what
he said about all of this happening in Jackson Hall,
(22:32):
and Powell said, Look, this is what we all knew
all along. He's finally acknowledging what the Trump camp has
been saying all along, that interest rates are too high
and holding us back. Here is again, Peter Navarro at
the White House, in his own words.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Peter, it's great to see you this morning. Welcome, and
I know you have an op ed out on Jay
Powell which is going to be coming out later on
in the week. Give us your assessment of the Chairman's
speech and this new thinking for September's cut.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Maria, great, thanks for asking. Look, it was twenty minutes
of Powell gobbledegook in thirty seconds of pure Trump beauty.
Powell finally acknowledged what we've been saying in the Trump
camp all along, that tariffs don't create inflation. He had
two sentences that said One, they don't even if they
(23:22):
might create some inflation, it's only a one shot deal,
so there's no inflationary spiral. And two, in the second sentence,
he said that's not going to stop him from cutting rates.
The markets off, they went, Maria, I'm on record as
saying Dallas hitting fifty thousand. I said that, Maria, by
the way, when we were at the plunge, the drop
(23:44):
when Donald Trump first introduced the tariffs this term, and
the market's rebounded, and it's going to be a rocket
ship because we're going to have price stability and economic
growth from the various aspects of Trump policy, the deregulation
of tax cuts, the strategic energy dominics, and guess what
(24:05):
fair trade, which is getting this tariffs. They're going to
pay down our debt, pay down our debt, pay down
our debt, and pay for the big beautiful tax bill.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Look, the markets obviously liked what he had to say.
I thought it was interesting how Navarro said, Look, this
is thirty forty five minutes of gobblygook with a you know,
thirty seconds of Trump brilliance, where he's admitting what Donald
Trump has been saying. Along you're holding back the economy.
I also want you to hear what Charles Pain, good
friend of mine, had to say at Fox Business Channel
(24:36):
about this as the stock mark is responding and soaring
and why why did that happen? Because they understand that
lowering interest rates in September could have a big impact
not only on our debt I'm talking about the federal
government's debt, all right, but also could have a very
big impact on something else. That's something else is on
(24:57):
you and your dollars every single month.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Take a listen, and.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
Everyone, I'm Charles paying this is making money. So last
week was monumental on several fronts, right, notably the stock market,
which you could see that the red all week long.
In fact, we had a five day losing streak and
that made Friday really, let's face it, there was sort
of a do or die session. Major intersees, of course
the sword sword on that Jackson Hole speech, but the
(25:25):
composition of the rally change, and I think that's one
of the big newsworthy things. This is for the week, right.
You rarely see this, but the big red boxes, the
big red rectangles, and those are your tech names, those
are your mega cap names and summer down a lot,
Palunteered down over ten percent, Microsoft, Apple, They all took
pretty good hints. Meanwhile, more broadly, look at this all
the other stocks of four ninety three stepping up to
(25:48):
the plate and then they're small caps. A lot of
false starts this year, but for the week, small cap well,
there were small cap value, small cap core or small
cap growth actually outperforming huge. One of the best weeks
for small caps in a long time. The question is
will it sustain itself? Can it be sustained? Of course,
the other big news of the week, going back to
(26:09):
Jackson Hall, is where many thought that Jay Powell will
be confrontational, right, or at least, let's be honest, the
media trying to nudge Jay Powell into the corner of
sort of with these NonStop stories. He's going to stick
to his guns. He's going to give it to President Trump.
You know, he's not going to be pushing around. Well,
they were disappointed. Many people were disappointed because Powell, you know,
(26:31):
he didn't hold back in certain ways, though others actually
said this whole thing, this whole not a charade, but
whatever you want to call it, might actually be the
twilight of the Central banking elite. I got to tell you,
I came away thinking that Jay Powell, he's kind of
dealing with realities. Right. Things aren't written into textbooks that
necessarily pertain today. You have two hundred year old economic
(26:53):
theories that don't necessarily apply completely today. This political rhetoric,
this aging, there's.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
So many things.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
So maybe just maybe he cracked the current code.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Look, what Jerome Powell is now having to do is
probably what he knows he should have been doing long
before September. He's not in the political battle against the
president as he was early on. Why because I think
he understands he looks like an idiot. The President also,
I think, willing to take this win, this w and
(27:24):
take it and just move on from it because it's
going to help the economy and the American people so much.
When I look at where we are and what the
President has been saying, and what the President's been advocating for,
He's wanting Americans to be able to do things for themselves.
He wants him to be able to build or buy
(27:45):
a house. He wants him to be able to pay
for things or borrow money at a low rate. He
wants them to be able to expand their businesses or
their small businesses. I mean, these are just basic things
that the President of United States America has been in
favor of. And unfortunate Democrats have been obsessed with fighting
the president no matter what, every single time they get
(28:07):
a chance.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
If they can.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Fight the president, they will fight the president time and
time again. And Democrats or Pale, the list goes on
and on. Now there's somebody that say that the president
should have just gotten rid of Powell.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
It's independent, however, and there's a lot of questions about that,
and the Federal Reserve should not be quote political. I
do believe that Powell has been political. Should there be
accountability for that?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Right? We can debate that on another show another day.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
What I do know right now is it looks like
that the Federal Reserve chairman is finally going to do
not what I want. I think you can argue maybe
not what you want. He's going to do what the
market needs, what the market deserves, what the market should
have already done, what he should have already done, I
(28:57):
should say, for the market. And the only only reason
why he's going to do it now is because I
think he realizes he's actually holding back the American economy
and he's hurting many Americans. A lot of Americans still
live paycheck to paycheck. A lot are trying to get ahead.
A lot of them have debt, credit card debt, or
(29:18):
home debt, whatever it maybe are. There's people trying to
buy their first home. And you look at where we are.
It should be easier than it is right now to
accomplish those things. Don't forget Share this podcast please with
your family and your friends whereever they are, and I
will see you back here tomorrow
The Joe Biden autopen investigation continues to heat up. The
headlines describe exactly what the game plan is of those
that were around Joe Biden and just how massive the
cover up actually is. Whether it's the AP saying quote
Joe Biden aid invokes fifth to decline testimony and investigation,
(00:21):
or the Guardian Republican leading inquiry into Biden's autopen use
has digitally signed letters, or even the Daily Beast James
Comber announces new investigation into Biden over the use of
the autopen. Well, we now have new information as James
Comer sat down with Fox News Sunday, and here is
part of what he had to say about it. The
(00:42):
assessment that Biden staffords are deliberately refusing to answer questions
about the autopen use and providing extraordinary levels of obfuscation.
Now James Comer seems to be really hammering in on
the facts and continuing to press the investorstigation into whether
Biden used an autopen to sign documents like pardons, raising
(01:06):
major concerns about who may have truly been in charge
during the final days, weeks, or months of the Joe
Biden presidency. Now in May of this year, Comer initiated
a fresh probe. He issued letters to key aids, including
many of those close to President in non political roles
for example, like Biden's physician, doctor Kevin O'Connor, and warning
(01:29):
of subpoenas if they don't cooperate. Fast forward to June
of this year, testimony from several raised major red flags,
some admitting limited direct interaction with Biden and no insight
into the autopen approval process, suggesting a total lack of
transparency or oversight. And then the Fifth Amendment invocations continued.
(01:54):
On July the sixteenth, a former aid to First Lady
Joe Biden invoked the Fifth the Mania during his Oversight
Committee appearance, becoming the second such individual in the probe
to do so. Comber responded by stating that the public
is concerned about unaccountable decision making within the White House.
In other words, who was actually in charge. The bottom
(02:17):
line is clear representative. Comer asserts he now has unprecedented
evidence of a cover up involving the autopen use and
Biden's cognitive decline. Now, this is what he had to
say on Fox Sunday Morning.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
This week, the House Oversight Committee is set to continue
its investigation into Joe Biden's mental fitness during his presidency
when former White House Deputy Assistant Andrew Bates sits down
for an interview on Friday. Former White House Press Secretary
Kareeine Jean Pierre, and former White House Chief of Staff
Jeff Zience are also slated to peer before the committee
(02:55):
in coming weeks. Joining me now with more on his
investigation into former President Biden and in the chairman is
the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman James Comer.
It's great to have you with us this morning.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I want to get the latest on the investigation, Congressman,
but also what we've heard so far, key figures, taking
the fifth key figures that day after day said that
Biden was totally fit and ready to do the job.
Now saying they really didn't spend that much time with him.
The testimony doesn't add up with what we saw.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Something is awry here, something's definitely awry.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Look when you have Ian SAMs, who was the face
of the White House response to the very damaging report
that said that Joe Biden was a forgetful old man.
He was the face of the White House response to
our investigation Byron Donalds and myself as well as all
the members of the House Oversy Committee, when we found
(03:53):
that China had in fact wired money to LLC's owned
by Biden family members. He was the one that would
always respond and say he talked to Joe Biden, Joe
Biden was vibrant, Joe Biden did not do this, The
families sayesn't, and then come to find out when we
put him under oath, he admits, well, I only saw
Joe Biden two times over a two year period. That's unprecedented.
(04:15):
We're trying to get to the bottom of who was
operating the autopen and and we've brought in a dozen
people so far, and they're all pointing the fingers at
other people, the ones that I think may have a
little more knowledge. They pled the Fifth to avoid self incrimination.
So I think what you're gonna see iss unless John
Pierre and some of these others come in and, you know,
(04:38):
tell us more. It's becoming very apparent that Joe Biden
really wasn't the one in command at the end of
his presidency. And that's important because you're talking about thousands
of pardons and dozens of executive orders that were signed
with that autopen, and it appears without President Biden's knowledge.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Absolutely, I want to move to this ten FBI whistleblowers.
They they warned of political weaponization, and they also say
that they faced retaliation from the Biden administration. We've been
talking about this weaponization as a theme. It touches so
many different aspects of what we've discussed just this morning alone.
But it also shows you that it's not just the
(05:16):
president who has faced this. It flows into all different
levels and to everyday people that are just trying to
serve and do their duties.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Well, look, the government is comprised of an overwhelming number
of liberals, an overwhelming number of activists. During the Obama
and Biden years, the government number swelled of liberal activists
that came in. Whether they worked for the EPA or
whether they worked for the Department of Justice or the FBI,
they had an agenda. They weren't necessarily public servants. The
(05:49):
ones that rose to the top were activists, and these
activists tried to weaponize the federal government in various forms,
whether to enact policy or whether to ruin the lives
of people or influence elections as we've seen. So now
we have people in place like Tulca Gabbert and John
Ratcliffe and Cash Betail who are exposing this. Congress has
(06:09):
exposed this, the House Oversught Committee is exposed to the
Judiciary Committee under Jim Jordan's exposed it. Now we need accountability,
and I'm hopeful that Pam Bondy will take this evidence
and her Department of Justice will start holding people accountable.
And we're seeing President Trump be more active on truth
social encouraging his own Department of Justice to hold people
accountable for wrongdoing. And I think it's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
And I think it's going to happen very clearly. James
Comer sharing unprecedented details surrounding the by not open investigation
and also what the White House is doing to hold
people accountable as well. This is exactly what so many
Americans voted for and why I think there's many in
Washington right now, in the Deep State that are very
concerned about what's happening now. By the way, Comber wasn't
(06:55):
done there. He also was asked this question listen carefully.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And the weapon is is really interesting because in some
ways it serves as a distraction. Look over here, so
you're not really focusing on what was over here. Many
Americans want to know what went on with Special Counsel
Jack Smith going after the president. They want to know
about Jim Comey and John Brennan and Russiagate and where
the accountability is in those instances.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I completely agree, as I travel Kentucky as well as
all across America. That's the biggest question I get from people.
When are people going to be held accountable for this wrongdoing?
The evidence that the investigations are complete, more and more
evidence is surfacing.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
One of the limiting.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Factors we had, whether it was Jim Jordan's Weaponization Subcommittee
or my House Oversight Committee, was the fact that the
Bideny administration wouldn't turn over documents. Now we've got Trump
administration officials lack Cash, Mattel and like John Ratcliffe and
Tulsea Gabbart who are making public these documents. So I
think the case now for the Department of Justice, Trump's
(07:56):
Department of Justice, Pam Body's Department Justice is now there
to hold these people account. When I think you're seeing
more hints from President Trump that the day of accountability
is near, and hopefully this is going to set an
example for future people in the government never to let
this deep state rise again and to try to weaponize
(08:17):
the government to punish your enemies or to enact liberal
legislative agendas like the Green New Deal.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
On Tuesday, Sir, House members are going to meet with
Epstein victims. How is that going to play into how
the Department of Justice is handling this As Americans have
said they want to see the files and I want.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
To command the Department Justice.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Pam Bondis has started turning over those documents to the
House Oversite Committee is subpoena those documents. The Trump administration
is cooperating with us. We're bringing in the families and
the attorneys of the victims Tuesday afternoon to talk to
the House oversighte Committee. This will be Republicans and Democrats
because we're going to make this information public. That's what
(09:03):
the American people want. When we travel around all of
our districts. That's one of the things that people ask,
when are we going to see the Epstein files. But
it's very complicated because there are victims of the Epstein
files and we want to listen to those victims and
their families and their attorneys to see how best can
we present this information. Do they want their names redacted?
Do they not want their names redacted? And that's so
(09:25):
that's one of the things that President Trump's talked about,
like this is a lot more complicated than then. A
lot of people want to realize there are victims that
are involved here, and we want to protect their their
futures and their reputations and their families. So we're going
to have a good conversation to see how best then
to turn around and present this information to the American
(09:46):
people and hopefully put this issue to rest so Congress
can focus on passing the spending bill and working with
President Trump to reduce crime in our big cities.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Translation, it is a very big week in Washington, d C.
And James Comer helping lead the way on the House side.
Many Democrats on the Senate side are worried about the
Republicans there, and the media is obviously terrified what's happening
at the White House, at the DOJ and the FBI.
I want to talk to you about my friends over
at Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of choices for
(10:17):
cell phone service with new ones popping up all the time.
But if you want to make a difference and you
want to stop giving your money to liberal companies, well,
one way you can do that is by getting rid
of Liberal Mobile you probably have right now. That is
where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now coming together
and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've
(10:39):
been in service now for thirteen years, and right now
is the best time ever to switch, because it's never
been easier. Now, before I tell you about that, I
want you to know why switching is so important. Because
every time you make a call, every time you send
a text, and every time that you pay your bill,
you're actually standing up for the values you believe in.
Your first and your safe to mimic rights, the rights
(11:02):
of unborn children, and you stand with our military, our veterans,
our wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot
Mobile takes about five percent of your bill every month
at no extra cost to you, and they give it
back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now,
let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You
can keep your same number, keep your same phone, or
(11:24):
upgrade Patriot Mobile's got a one hundred percent US based
customer service team and literally they can now with technology
get you activated in minutes from the comfort of your
home or your office. You're second to contract or owe
money on your phones, no worries. Patriot Mobile has a
contract buyout program and this is how we win, folks
by aligning our spinning with our values. Every dollar we
(11:47):
spend matters. Now, let me also give you a free
month of service. Go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson.
That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson, or you can
call them nine to seven to two Patriot. Use the
promo code ferguson and you're gonna get one month free
service by switching today. So again, Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson.
(12:11):
Use the promo code ferguson. You'll get a free month
of service today Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine
to seven to two Patriot. If you're a Democrat, what
is the easiest way to make crime go down?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Well, apparently it's not actually fighting crime.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You just change and alter the stats to make it
look like a city is getting safer. We now know
that the Congressional Oversight probe is official, and the House
Oversight Committee, led by Representative James Comer, has launched an
investigation into what they described as quote disturbing allegations that
(12:46):
the DC Metropolitan Police Department intentionally manipulated crime data to
paint a rosier picture of public safety than what the
reality was on the ground.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Another way of putting.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
It is they would change and alter the way they
would report on serious crimes to make you feel like
it's safer of a city than it really was. How
do we know this? A whistleblower reportedly told the committee
that crime statistics were manipulated on a widespread basis and
that the direction of supervisory officials potentially affecting all seven
(13:25):
patrol districts in the District of Columbia. The Justice Department
has a criminal inquiry now, and the US Attorney's Office
for the District of Columbia, under US Attorney Jeanine Pirino
you know her as Judge Janin from Fox News Channel,
has initiated a criminal investigation into whether the DC police
(13:46):
officials systematically quote altered crime reports to artificially suppress violent
crime rates. This probe was triggered by the suspension in
May of the command who led the third District in
DC and is accused of downgrading serious instances such as
(14:07):
stabbings and carjackings to make the crime stats look better,
Which brings us to James Comer. He went on Fox
News Channel and a linked the interview explaining exactly what's
going on. I want you to hear what he had
to say. Take a listen to this.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
Furthering President Trump's efforts to crack down on crime in
our nation's capital. According to a report, House Republicans already
with a slew of DC crime bills. The House Oversight
Committee is also launching an investigation into possible crime data manipulation.
Here now with more House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comber
(14:46):
chairman said, thanks so much for joining us. Most people
don't realize, but the chairman of the Oversea Committee has
jurisdiction on the White House. They also have jurisdiction on Washington,
d C. So this idea that these crime data had
potentially been manipulated, what have you seen? Where is this going?
(15:06):
What are you looking for?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Well, first of all, for those of us who have
lived in Washington, d C. Over the past several years,
especially the past twelve months, we don't see any reduction
in crime. But yet that's been the talking point for
the liberal media, for the Democrats in Washington because they
knew that President Trump campaigned and said he would do
whatever it takes to get the crime crisis under control.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
In Washington, d C.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
So lo and behold the Washington d C. Statisticians come
out and say, oh, crime's down fifty percent, carjackings are
down fifty percent, when we see on the news every
day multiple carjackings, homicides every day. The employees in our
congression officers look out the window at all hours of
the night and see kids running around spray painting, breaking things,
(15:51):
stealing things. What we see is not what the statistics reflected.
So we've seen time and time again where Democrats collude
with people in the government who do things like the
census and do things like recording statistics, that we have
reason to believe that they've been lying about these statistics
to have a talking point to try to prevent Donald
(16:14):
Trump from doing exactly what he's doing, and that is
sending the National Guardian to control the out of control
crime in Washington, d C. So that's one thing we're
working on the other thing. As you mentioned, we're working
with the White House now on several bills that were
pertain to reining in the out.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Of control crime in Washington, d C.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
This is based on a city that is passed excessive
criminal justice reform to the point to where you don't
get arrested unless you commit a murder. And we've seen
time and time again people get caught for carjacking in
the morning, they get let out, and by that afternoon
and evening they've tried to carjack again. So these are
the issues we're working with the White House, and I
(16:54):
think September is going to be a very busy month
for the House Oversight Committee as we work with President
Trump to try to legislation to reduce crime in.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Washington, d C.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Yeah, you want to see liberals and Democrats square and
wait till these bills start coming up on the floor.
Are you going to vote in favor of or against?
You know, cashless bail and these types of debates on
the floor are just going to be right because there's
one party that's for law and order, that's Republicans. There's
one party that's against it, that's the Democrats. And when
you all start putting those bills up on the floor
(17:24):
and you have to fort and you force people to vote,
that's going to be highly entertaining, and not just entertaining,
it'll be illumative. It'll illuminate the problem and the difference
between the political parties. One last quick question, Chairman, is
this also these crime statistics.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I look at.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Chicago, I look at la I look at California. I
don't believe that what this they're doing is that something
else that the committee can get after, because the crime stats,
I'm telling you, they don't get they're not on there
if they don't get reported, and then they brag about
how crime is but everybody knows that's not true.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Everybody knows it. Whether you're in Louisville, Kentucky, whether you're
in Chicago, Illinois, all the big cities in America are
facing a crime crisis. Because we have liberal prosecutors, we
have liberal judges. We've taken criminal justice reform to the excesses.
People aren't being held accountable for crimes. Therefore more people
are committing crimes. I think if we can prove that
(18:24):
Washington d C. Has been dishonest with their statistics. We'll
take this show on the road to other cities because
we've got to get serious about crime. The American people
expect somebody to do something about it. The Democrats aren't
doing anything about it. President Trump is, and the Republicans
in Congress hopefully we'll be too.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You notice one of the most important things that was
said there by James Comer was we're going to take
this show on the road. He is echoing what the
President of the United States of America has said. If
Democrats refuse to keep Americans safe, the federal government is
going to do everything in their power to actually keep
you safe, and they're not going to back down. Now
this this also is a disaster politically for Democrats. Why
(19:04):
would you want to be so against actually fighting crime
but apparently willing to lie and alter crime statistics when
you know that that is not giving a real sense
of safety for the people that you claim to care about.
Let's also just talk about the racial aspect of this
for a moment.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
The majority of people.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That are dying in many of the cities that are
the most dangerous in America or African Americans, they claim
that black lives matter.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
If black lives actually.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Mattered, then why on earth would they not do everything
they can to stop crime the way that the President
of United States of America is wanting to do it.
By the way it's working in DC, it is a
perfect model to roll out in Baltimore, New Orleans, in
Memphis and Chicago, in any major city that is filled
(19:57):
with violent criminals. It is now to bely frustrating if
you live in one of those cities and you now
know clearly that the government that you elected is deliberately
not keeping you safe and maybe lying about how dangerous
the city actually is instead of actually fighting the criminals.
(20:18):
And this is what the President is clearly going to do.
The President is going to expose this. James Comer is
going to expose it. They're going to go to these
cities and say we are here to help. And the
question you need to ask is why are your local
elective officials fighting us? Now, this is going to be
a political showdown, and the question is who's going to
(20:39):
win the hearts and minds of the people in these cities.
My money is on President Donald Trump. I know that
Donald Trump has been saying for quite some time that
he believes that interest rates are far too high, holding
back America's economy and making it harder for Americans to
own a home and to borrow money for small business
loans and things like that. Well, there's been a war
(21:01):
with Jerome Powell, and Jerome Powell actually opened the door
finally to cuts in his August to twenty second Jackson
Whole speech, saying quote conditions may warrant easing soon and
stressing the Fed will move carefully based on inflation and
the softening labor market. Now, part of this revolved around
(21:24):
the real concern in the labor market. There are real
worries and stress tests. Powell highlighted the job market as
quote red flags, reinforcing why a cautious cut could now
finally be on the table. CBS News even reporting on this,
saying the inflation risks still matter, saying he flagged terror
(21:47):
related prices pressuring the related FED and said that look,
we're trying to do what we've got to do. They
won't allow a quote one time price bump to become
persistent inflatation, so deep rapid cuts are quote unlikely as well. Now,
the market reaction to this was interesting. Stocks rallied Friday
(22:09):
on the Davis tone then cooled at Monday's open as
enthusiasm faded for what he actually said. Now, I want
you to actually hear the reality of the situation. Peter
Navarro at the White House talking on Fox Business Jennal
with Maria Bartiromo, and I want you to hear what
he said about all of this happening in Jackson Hall,
(22:32):
and Powell said, Look, this is what we all knew
all along. He's finally acknowledging what the Trump camp has
been saying all along, that interest rates are too high
and holding us back. Here is again, Peter Navarro at
the White House, in his own words.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Peter, it's great to see you this morning. Welcome, and
I know you have an op ed out on Jay
Powell which is going to be coming out later on
in the week. Give us your assessment of the Chairman's
speech and this new thinking for September's cut.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Maria, great, thanks for asking. Look, it was twenty minutes
of Powell gobbledegook in thirty seconds of pure Trump beauty.
Powell finally acknowledged what we've been saying in the Trump
camp all along, that tariffs don't create inflation. He had
two sentences that said One, they don't even if they
(23:22):
might create some inflation, it's only a one shot deal,
so there's no inflationary spiral. And two, in the second sentence,
he said that's not going to stop him from cutting rates.
The markets off, they went, Maria, I'm on record as
saying Dallas hitting fifty thousand. I said that, Maria, by
the way, when we were at the plunge, the drop
(23:44):
when Donald Trump first introduced the tariffs this term, and
the market's rebounded, and it's going to be a rocket
ship because we're going to have price stability and economic
growth from the various aspects of Trump policy, the deregulation
of tax cuts, the strategic energy dominics, and guess what
(24:05):
fair trade, which is getting this tariffs. They're going to
pay down our debt, pay down our debt, pay down
our debt, and pay for the big beautiful tax bill.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Look, the markets obviously liked what he had to say.
I thought it was interesting how Navarro said, Look, this
is thirty forty five minutes of gobblygook with a you know,
thirty seconds of Trump brilliance, where he's admitting what Donald
Trump has been saying. Along you're holding back the economy.
I also want you to hear what Charles Pain, good
friend of mine, had to say at Fox Business Channel
(24:36):
about this as the stock mark is responding and soaring
and why why did that happen? Because they understand that
lowering interest rates in September could have a big impact
not only on our debt I'm talking about the federal
government's debt, all right, but also could have a very
big impact on something else. That's something else is on
(24:57):
you and your dollars every single month.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Take a listen, and.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
Everyone, I'm Charles paying this is making money. So last
week was monumental on several fronts, right, notably the stock market,
which you could see that the red all week long.
In fact, we had a five day losing streak and
that made Friday really, let's face it, there was sort
of a do or die session. Major intersees, of course
the sword sword on that Jackson Hole speech, but the
(25:25):
composition of the rally change, and I think that's one
of the big newsworthy things. This is for the week, right.
You rarely see this, but the big red boxes, the
big red rectangles, and those are your tech names, those
are your mega cap names and summer down a lot,
Palunteered down over ten percent, Microsoft, Apple, They all took
pretty good hints. Meanwhile, more broadly, look at this all
the other stocks of four ninety three stepping up to
(25:48):
the plate and then they're small caps. A lot of
false starts this year, but for the week, small cap well,
there were small cap value, small cap core or small
cap growth actually outperforming huge. One of the best weeks
for small caps in a long time. The question is
will it sustain itself? Can it be sustained? Of course,
the other big news of the week, going back to
(26:09):
Jackson Hall, is where many thought that Jay Powell will
be confrontational, right, or at least, let's be honest, the
media trying to nudge Jay Powell into the corner of
sort of with these NonStop stories. He's going to stick
to his guns. He's going to give it to President Trump.
You know, he's not going to be pushing around. Well,
they were disappointed. Many people were disappointed because Powell, you know,
(26:31):
he didn't hold back in certain ways, though others actually
said this whole thing, this whole not a charade, but
whatever you want to call it, might actually be the
twilight of the Central banking elite. I got to tell you,
I came away thinking that Jay Powell, he's kind of
dealing with realities. Right. Things aren't written into textbooks that
necessarily pertain today. You have two hundred year old economic
(26:53):
theories that don't necessarily apply completely today. This political rhetoric,
this aging, there's.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
So many things.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
So maybe just maybe he cracked the current code.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Look, what Jerome Powell is now having to do is
probably what he knows he should have been doing long
before September. He's not in the political battle against the
president as he was early on. Why because I think
he understands he looks like an idiot. The President also,
I think, willing to take this win, this w and
(27:24):
take it and just move on from it because it's
going to help the economy and the American people so much.
When I look at where we are and what the
President has been saying, and what the President's been advocating for,
He's wanting Americans to be able to do things for themselves.
He wants him to be able to build or buy
(27:45):
a house. He wants him to be able to pay
for things or borrow money at a low rate. He
wants them to be able to expand their businesses or
their small businesses. I mean, these are just basic things
that the President of United States America has been in
favor of. And unfortunate Democrats have been obsessed with fighting
the president no matter what, every single time they get
(28:07):
a chance.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
If they can.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Fight the president, they will fight the president time and
time again. And Democrats or Pale, the list goes on
and on. Now there's somebody that say that the president
should have just gotten rid of Powell.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
It's independent, however, and there's a lot of questions about that,
and the Federal Reserve should not be quote political. I
do believe that Powell has been political. Should there be
accountability for that?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Right? We can debate that on another show another day.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
What I do know right now is it looks like
that the Federal Reserve chairman is finally going to do
not what I want. I think you can argue maybe
not what you want. He's going to do what the
market needs, what the market deserves, what the market should
have already done, what he should have already done, I
(28:57):
should say, for the market. And the only only reason
why he's going to do it now is because I
think he realizes he's actually holding back the American economy
and he's hurting many Americans. A lot of Americans still
live paycheck to paycheck. A lot are trying to get ahead.
A lot of them have debt, credit card debt, or
(29:18):
home debt, whatever it maybe are. There's people trying to
buy their first home. And you look at where we are.
It should be easier than it is right now to
accomplish those things. Don't forget Share this podcast please with

will see you back here tomorrow
