Speaker 1 (00:00):
Joe Biden has been trying to play both sides of
the conflict with Israel and the terrorists Hamas has blid
of the Palestinians. Now it's coming back to Biden in
the rear end because apparently no one is happy with
what he is doing.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
He was trying to play kate with young people.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
That's the reason why he would not call out what
was happening on college campuses, because his re election campaign
understands just how important it is to.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Get young people to come out and vote for him.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
The problem is older people that want to support Israel
have now had enough of Joe Biden's foreign policy of
backing or well maybe I should say not backing Israel
and also not standing up to terrorism. There is a
new ras Musen pull out that is going to be
music to your ears if you're a Trump supporter, and
that is this Trump has widened his lead over Joe Biden.
(00:54):
Now let me break down this pulling for you so
you understand. This survey, which was really on Friday midday,
found that in a three way contest between Biden, Trump,
and RFK Junior, forty six percent of likely US voters
would choose Trump. Thirty six percent say they would choose Biden,
(01:17):
and in a shockingly high number, more than anyone realized
it was going to be, RFK Junior is at nine percent. Now,
where's the majority of this nine percent coming from that
RFK Junior now has in this new poll? It is
coming from young socialists, communists, and Green Party individuals. Now,
(01:38):
in a five way match, including the Green Party candidate
Jill Stein and forver Harvard professor Cornell West, forty eight
percent say they would vote for Trump, thirty six percent
for Biden, eight percent only moving one percent for r
FK Junior and one percent for West and one percent
(01:59):
for Stock.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
This third party candidacy of RFK Junior is hurting and
is a real alternative for many Democrats who are unhappy
with Joe Biden. Now, the current poll was conducted amid
Donald Trump's fraud trial in New York City, which also
at the moment seems to be backfiring as well. Now,
(02:22):
let me tell you some other things that we found
in this poll. Seventy one percent of voters say they
are excited about the twenty twenty four presidential election, including
forty seven percent who say they are very excited, meaning
that there's probably going to be pretty decent election turnout
because people are upset with what's happening in this country.
(02:43):
They're upset with the cost of living, services, goods, home prices,
interest rates, travel expenses, you name it, food, basic things, inflation.
It goes back to the issue of it's the economy stupid.
We did not see the same type of enthusiasm going
into the twenty election cycle. Just so you understand, fifty
(03:04):
nine percent, by the way of Trump voters say they're
very excited, and fifty percent of Biden voters say the
same thing. So there's more enthusiasm on the Republican side. Now,
before you get too excited about that, that is traditionally
normal the party who is not in charge. Okay, just
so you understand, I'm going to say this again, the
(03:27):
party who is usually not in charge of the White
House has more excitement around their candidate because they want
to get the White House back. So that number can
be a little bit misleading. Now, I'm glad that there's
fifty nine percent of Trump voters say they're very excited,
but that fifty percent of Biden voters.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Say the same thing tells you.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's a very partisan aspect of this poll, and even
Joe Biden, who I don't believe a lot of Democrats
are actually excited about the poll numbers are showing that
they'll lie and tell you they are. Now sixty percent
of Republicans say they're very excited about the presidential election,
and forty five percent of Democrats say the same thing.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
That is a very telling poll.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
B What that means is Republicans are excited about their
chances of taking back the White House, and Democrats are saying,
we'd rather delay this election. We're not excited about this
election because it doesn't seem like it's going in our direction.
Right now, here's something else that's interesting. Undecided voters ultimately
make the big decisions, right they have the biggest impact. Well,
(04:28):
here's what we know about undecided. Thirty six percent of
voters not affiliated with either parties say they're excited about
this election.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Whether they're excited.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Because they're angry or they're just excited because they're quote excited,
I don't know. But in a three way matchup, here's
what I can tell you. Trump gets eighty percent of
GOP voters. Biden is it's seventy percent of Democrats because
Democrats again are not as excited as Trump and Donald
Trump has united the party among unaffiliated voters.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
This is also very good news.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Trump is backed by forty four percent of unaffiliated voters
at the moment and Biden just twenty seven percent. Here's
something else, fifteen percent say they would choose RFK Junior
among unaffiliated voters. So it is he, It is helping Trump,
and it is hurting Biden that RFK Junior is still
in the race now in a five way matchup, just
(05:24):
so you know, when it comes down to the issue
of race, Biden gets thirty four percent of white voters,
sixty one percent of black voters, which actually that number
is pretty low, it should be over seventy percent historically,
and thirty percent just thirty percent of Hispanics and just
fourteen percent of other minorities. Now what this means, and
(05:44):
this may be the most telling thing as you pull
back the curtain on what voters are deciding and what's
important to them. The Hispanic community is enraged right now
by the amount of illegal immag that is falling into
this country because it is affecting their neighborhoods. Okay, more
(06:06):
than anyone else. The Hispanic community that's having to deal
with what is happening right now because of illegal immigrants.
They are furious, absolutely furious with the President of United
States of America. In a five way matchup, Biden gets
thirty four percent of white votes, but only thirty percent
(06:26):
of Hispanics, so he gets more white votes than Hispanic votes.
That is a nail in the coffin in many ways
for Joe Biden. He's got to figure out how to
turn that around before election day now, in either a
two way or five way match This is also something
else that's concerning.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
If you're Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
RFK Junior does best among Hispanics and other minorities who say, hey,
maybe I'm not willing to go all in for Donald Trump,
but I am willing to go against Joe Biden, whether
that's not voting at all or voting for RFK.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Now, what's interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
About RFK Junior is RFK Junior and his platform is
clearly a socialist platform, and many people that come from
outside this country, that come from socialist countries have no
problem with that platform. And that's part of the reason
why I think RFK Junior is so palatable to them.
One other thing that I want to pull out this poll,
(07:24):
a majority of voters forty and above say that they
would vote for Donald Trump, while Biden Trump are virtually
tied among those under forty, who are more likely to
say they'd vote for RFK jor. So again, there is
a big shift in this country and the next generation
that's coming up, this new generation of voters, these younger
voters who they are much more happy to say that
(07:46):
they are hardcore radical leftists, they don't like America. They're
the kids that you see on these college campuses right now,
and they say they'd vote for RFK Junior. Again, that
is their second choice. Is a lot of them is
actually Joe Biden. But as long as our FK Junior
is in this race, it seems to be hurting Joe
(08:07):
Biden more than anybody, Probably close to a two to
one margin over a vote being taken away from Trump.
In other words, every Trump voter that goes for our
FK Junior or someone that's most likely to vote for
Trump if he wasn't in there, we're probably taking two
votes away from Joe Biden. That is a good trade off.
If you are a conservative. I remember, by the way,
(08:31):
when we were when Ross Perot got in the race
in ninety two, and I remember when he got in
the race in ninety six, and I remember he was
taking more votes from Republicans than he was taking and
almost a two to one margin that he was taking specifically.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
From Bill Clinton.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
So without Ross Perot, Bill Clinton would not have been
President of the United States of America.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Like it just would not have happened.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
So that you, I want to be clear, if there's
anybody who should say a thank you know to every
single it would be Ross pro If you're Bill Clinton,
all right, I want to break down you look at
the pulling number that I just gave you and the
data I just gave you. Where is the what is
causing these major shifts that are hurting Joe Biden. The
most number one issue right now clearly seems to be
(09:16):
the economy. That's still very very true. But number two
is this playing both sides when it comes to Israel.
That is just destroying this President of the United States
of America because he's making older people mad while he's
also making younger people mad that we're going to vote
for him. So he's actually losing on both sides by
not taking a stance and actually just standing up for
(09:38):
whatever it is he actually believes in.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
He doesn't really seem to believe in anything.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
And that's the other problem here, is that when you
don't believe in anything, then everybody's.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Mad at you. And I think he thought, well, I
can get away with this. Now.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Let me also tell you what's about to happen in
Israel so that you understand this, because this is I
think extremely important. It has come out that Israel has
now given Hamas Right, which is a terrorist organization, a
week to either strike a deal or they say a
Rafa major offensive will begin.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Now they know what this is going to look like
because they've.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Already done it in Gaza, and so they're saying, do
you want to go through this again? Do you want
us to destroy it coming after you, or do you
want to do a deal?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
This is the first time that Israel seems to have
really publicly said, hey, we're ready to do a deal.
And Israel has said, all right, Hamas, and they're willing
to negotiate with a terrarists. We are willing to agree
to a ceasefire deal or we're going to go ahead
with our military operations in Rafa. Egyptian officials that were
(10:45):
briefed on the matter said this as the militant group Hamas,
which is a terrorist group, holds out for what they're
describing as better terms to ensure its survival. Now, Egypt
worked with Israel on a revised fire proposal that it
presented to Hamas last weekend that according to Egyptian officials,
(11:06):
hamas's political leadership was expected to consult with its military
wing in Gaza and then respond. The group's military leader
in Gaza, who is believed to be hiding in tunnels
in the in the enclave and makes the final decision,
apparently has not responded yet.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
There's still wait to see what he says. Now.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Egyptian officials conveyed the message from Israel to Hamas on Thursday,
so you understand the timeline here and the Central Intelligence
Agency director Burns we also have been told arrived in
Cairo Friday morning for meetings with the Egyptian officials about
efforts to reach a deal. Now, senior Hamas officials are
(11:43):
expected to arrive in Cairo Saturday to continue the negotiations.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Egypt has said as well. Now.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
The office of the Israeli Prime Minister net and Yahoo
declined to comment. Officials for Hamas have also declined to comment.
It's so weird when you can talk to the terrorists
this way, like through official press channels.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It's just unbelievable to me.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
But Egyptian officials are saying Hamas is seeking quote, a
long term truce and guarantees from the United States government
that a ceasefire will be respected by Israel. Hamas officials
have expressed concerns that the latest proposal is still too
vague and gives Israel room to restart the fighting. The
State Department didn't respond to requests for comment on this,
(12:24):
so everybody's leaking everywhere. Now Here's what is in this proposal,
all right, from what we've been told from Egypt, and
I have no reasonab believe that they're lying about this,
based on the fact that they're the ones putting it together.
The latest proposal calls for an initial period of calm
for up to forty days, during which Hamas would release
(12:45):
up to up to thirty three hostages, with a possible
negotiation of a long term cease fire to follow. Now,
the following phases would include a ceasefire of at least
six weeks, during which Hamas and Israel would aim to
agree on the release of more hostages, and an extended
pause in fighting that could last up to one year. So,
(13:07):
in other words, if you're a hostage right now, you're
looking at and they've got a lot of hostages still
that there would be, you're probably going to be held
for a best case scenario another two months up to
at least a year. That's not good news. If you're
a hostage right now, right that's not now. Negotiations over
(13:30):
the ceasefire deal have faltered and quote reignited several times
since a brief pause in fighting in November, with Hamas
and Israel apart on key points, including the ability for
civilians to return their homes in northern Gaza and a
path towards ending the war. The two sides have mostly
agreed upon conditions for a swap of Israeli hostages held
(13:52):
by Hamas and Palastinian prisoners held by Israel.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Egyptian officials have confirmed.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Now Netanyahu says the military will send ground forces into Rafa,
a city on the northern edge of the Gaza strip,
where more than one million palaicing and civilians are shelter
sheltering in place, regardless of whether a deal is struck.
The Israeli military has said Rafa is Hamas's last stronghold,
but behind closed doors, Israeli officials are considering postponing the
(14:19):
Raffa invasion indefinitely if a long term deal is struck,
Egyptian officials have confirmed. Now, let's talk about the terrorists
in Hamas real quick, all right. The Hamas terrorist officials
have voice concerns that bb right Nott in Yahoo was
provoking the group into refusing the proposal in order to
invade Rafa and then blame Hamas for the failure of
(14:41):
the negotiations. The group is expected to respond to the
proposal with a counter offer rather than immediately reject it,
according to Egyptian officials.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So there's a lot of politics that are now being
played here. Now.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
The Secretary of State, he's pretty worthless. Anthony Blincoln, he
visited Israel on Wednesday. He said it it was up
to the up to Hamas to accept the ceasefire deal
that's on the table. He was asked about Netnya, who's
threats to attack Rafa regardless, he said, the Israeli Prime
Minister could speak for himself, saying, quote Hamas will have
to make its own judgments about the threats on Rafa
(15:16):
And that's pretty much all he had to say. Now,
net Naho making it very clear, we're not screwing around here.
You got a week either do the deal or don't
do the deal, and we're coming. And net Nyahu remains
under a lot of pressure in Israel to get the
release of these hostages that were taken to Gaza on
October seventh. There's one hundred and twenty eight hostages from
(15:40):
the attack that we're being told to remain in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
At least thirty five of those.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
One twenty eight have been confirmed to have been have
died or been murdered. That according to the recently updated
figures from Israel. Israeli and American officials have privately estimated
that the number of dead could be actually, in fact,
much higher than the thirty five official deaths out of
the one twenty eight. They believe it could be actually
more than half from what I've been told. Now, if
(16:08):
you believe the Palestinians Health Ministry, which I don't, because
they lie all the time. A perfect example of their
lying is when they said Israel bomb their hospital was
actually a Hamas rocket, that misfire that hit the parking garage,
not the actual hospital. So they're prolific liars, just so
you know. But they say that more than thirty four
thousand Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the star
(16:29):
of the war.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Most of them civilians.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
The figure, by the way, doesn't specify how many were combatants, which.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I would love to note.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Now I don't believe the thirty four thousand number, and
the reason why I don't believe it is because they
lie all the time.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
They lie twenty four to seven. Let's just make that
very very very clear. So let's get back to Biben.
The politics here.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
This issue is hurting him in his reelection because he's
had to placate the radicals, the extremists, the Marxist, the
so shells, the extreme of his party who are funding
these protests all over the country now in college campuses.
But I want you to hear what Democrat Cliburn, James
(17:11):
Cliburn had to say when he was being asked about
Joe Biden now and the problems with this policy on
college campuses that just isn't working.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Listen, I'm going to.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Start with this because you just heard the eighty percent
of young people who disapprove of the way that Biden
has handled the Israel hamas War. I want to ask
you about this article that came out from Axios this
morning saying Democrats enter panic mode as Gaza protests erupt.
That as a tear from their headline. Several Democrats expressing
(17:42):
in that article concerned that the protest and the fact
that Biden has not been able to help get a
ceasefire could hurt his chances in November. And I want
to let you to listen to what Bernie Sanders told
our Kris Hihan Ahmenport on this.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Subject maybe of Biden's Vietnam Lyndon Johnson, in many respects
was a very very good president domestically, brought forth some
major pieces of legislation. He chose not to run in
sixty eight because of opposition to his views on Vietnam.
(18:18):
And I worry very much that President Biden is putting
himself in a position where he is alienated not just
young people, but a lot of the Democratic base.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
So you hear that argument there do you think the
argument is an extreme example?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
What do you make of it?
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Well, thank you very much for having me. It's a
good argument. You know. I never argue with history. I
tell people all the time, history be our teacher. I
was around doing Vietnam. I was around doing President Lyndon
Johnson's Great socidy programs that brought on voting rights, the
(18:57):
civil rights. Well he is vice president. We've got Civil
Exact of sixty four. But he brought on the Medicare, medicaid,
all those things that made us a great society. He
was the engineer of and all that went down the
(19:17):
drain because of Vietnam. And so these kinds of issues
could very well be taken over as in this instance.
We see that there are some outside forces, some that
I feel well, not only up and up, that are
involved in this. And so I share that concern that
(19:38):
we've got to be very careful that we do not
stymy protests. I am where I am today because of protests.
We did it non violently. Our disciple of Martin Luther
King Jr. Violent protests is not free speech, and that
(19:58):
is what we've got to get everybody to understand. And
Joe Biden protects free speech, but he also protects law.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
So Cliburn, they're trying to spend this right.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
This Axis article very clear Democrats inner panic mode as
God's a protests erupt. You notice Cliburn there was just
trying to like, you know, filibuster at the time as
much as he could. He didn't know what else to say,
which isn't surprising at all. This is what I would
expect from him. Joe Biden on the protests. The best
(20:35):
thing we've gotten out of him was at this speech
that I played for yesterday where he said, you know,
dissent must never lead to disorder, which is kind of
a joke because they never called this out when it
was Black Lives Matter, that we're burning down buildings.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
We'll deal with that in a second.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
They are in real trouble right now, and the polling
number clearly shows this. Joe Biden has got the problem
now with Israel. He's got the problem with the college
campuses and losing the young vote. He's got the problem
with RFK Junior. It's a bad day and it's about
to get worse. Why do I say that. Here's a
(21:12):
New Hill article that came out and this is what
the title says, Biden's worst case economic scenario is unfolding
at the worst possible time.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Last Thursday, the.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Bureau of Economic Analysis released its advanced estimates for twenty
twenty four first quarter real GDP right gross domestic product growth.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
It was only one point six percent.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It is the worst quarterly performance since the economy actually
contracted by zero point six percent almost two years ago
in the second quarter of twenty twenty two. This was
a growth level that was in fact one third behind
the economists prediction, their expectation.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
That it was going to grow at two point four percent.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
It is also a major drop from the twenty twenty
three to fourth quarter rate that was at three point
four percent and the twenty twenty three third quarter rate
that they were all bragging about the White House with
bidnomics of four point nine percent.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
What does this mean.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
It means that this is significantly slower growth and it's
coming on the heels of also higher inflation. The March
report on overall prices showed that the consumer price index
for all urban consumers rose three point five percent over
the last year three point eight percent when core inflation
(22:42):
right minus food and energy was considered meaning it's costing
you about four percent more now to live than it
was a year ago. That figure was higher than any
figure we've had since twenty twenty three September and marked
the third marked that is three two one, and it
(23:03):
marked this third consecutive monthly increase, meaning they do not
have consumer prices or inflation under control at all at
this White House.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
With quote Bidenomics. Now.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
The reason why I bring this up is because on
top of this right news I just gave you Friday morning,
more bad news came out about inflation, this time on
the personal consumer expenditures all right, that is excluding food
and energy. This is the Federal Reserve also preferred inflation
(23:38):
gauge that they really look at.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
So you understand how important this is to the FED.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Well, in March it rose two point eight percent compared
to a year ago, the same as in February, and
well above the Fed's expectations. So all of this is happening.
It meaning that it's hurting the average American. It's actually
hurting poor people more than anyone else. The reason why
I bring that up is because while all of this
(24:04):
bad news is coming, the White House has now announced
because of a question they were asked that they were
forced to answer that, yes, taxes are about to go
up for many Americans. You may remember the Trump tax cuts.
The White House is now saying that they are going
to let that tax cut expire, meaning that it's going
(24:28):
to raise taxes on the average American family. Listen to
this at the White House briefing from Friday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
The President says that he wants to let the tax cuts,
the Trump task cuts aspire.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
If that long expires, it does raise taxes on almost
every American. So does he still support that expiring without
anything else in place?
Speaker 7 (24:48):
So look, as you said, the President is going to
allow is going to let the Trump tax cut expire,
and he was very clear, but he will not raise
taxes on anyone making less than four hundred thousand dollars
a year.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
That, well, that's a lie, because if you let the
Trump tax cuts expire, you are absolutely raising taxes on
those making less than four hundred thousand dollars a year.
So this is a way of raising taxes without actually
saying that you're proposing raising the taxes. You're just saying, well,
I didn't like this Trump policy, these Trump tax cuts.
(25:27):
So I'm going to let him expire. I'm not going
to renew them. And the reason why is because he
wants to take more your money. He really doesn't care
about you. And the Democratic Party doesn't care about you either.
They just don't care. And so that's why the White
House gets away with saying it this way. They're like, well,
we're not going to raise tax on you. If you're
making every four hundred thousand, Yes you are, you absolutely are.
(25:49):
You also have something else, and that is the average
American now. And I go back the polls I mentioned earlier.
The average American now true believes that this president is
not looking out for them.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
And that is another major problem.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
When you look at the economy, you look at the markets,
you look at what is happening. Go back to CNBC
this morning, the April jobs report comes out, and this
is what they said on CNBC about these numbers.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Go to Rick Rick.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
We know that, you know, there's some people that just
they just think that inflace that comes down after unemployment
goes up. So we're not going to see inflace come
down until we get an uptick in unemployment. So there
are people that probably would like a little.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Bit cooler number.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
But this is you only got ten seconds to respond.
We might as well just wait now until we see
what the number is.
Speaker 9 (26:47):
Right, Yeah, you know, I'm like Stephanie, I want to
see people get jobs. So however that plays into the
hand of the Fed.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
That's their concern.
Speaker 9 (26:56):
And April non farm payrolls expanded much less than expected
one hundred and seventy five thousand. We're looking for a
number much closer to two hundred and fifty thousand, and
at least up to this point in the rear view
mirror three hundred and three thousand, there are revisions minus
twenty two thousand for a two month span. Now, if
(27:16):
you look at manufacturing, it went from zero to eight thousand,
so there is some improvement.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
And by the way, that three hundred.
Speaker 9 (27:22):
And three thousand last month went up three hundred and
fifteen thousand, which means last month three hundred and fifteen
thousand was the best since January of twenty three. Then
we go to one hundred and seventy five thousand, which
actually is the weakest since October October.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Of last year.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
So they're even saying like, hey, this is really really
bad and we all need to just admit how bad
it actually is, Like this is.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Really, really, really bad. And the President.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I go back to that headline that I read for
you a moment ago, and this headline from the Hill,
Iden's worst case economic scenario is unfolding at the worst
possible time, in the summer before an election. Now, can
the President turn this around? I don't think so. I
don't believe that he can turn this around. I don't
think there's a magic wand that's going to somehow change this.
(28:17):
Are we going to see interest rates go down the summer, No,
not to a point that it's going to be meaningful.
Are we going to see wages increases summer, No, not
at a point that's going to be meaningful for voters.
Are we going to have consumer confidence go up all
of a sudden out of nowhere in September October.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
No before the election? I know, I don't see that scenario.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
And on top of all that, you're about to raise
taxes on virtually every American taxpayer because you are going
to let it expire, right like you're going to let
the tax cuts from Donald Trump expire.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Now, part of this could just be because.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
You don't want to have to admit that you extended
the Bush the Trump tax cuts, right, like, that's part
of it. And so you know that Donald Trump's going
to stand on stage and be like, dude, you extended
my tax cuts because you knew they worked, and that's
what I did for Americans. But the other side of
this coin may actually actually be worse, I would argue
for him and you. And can you imagine being on
(29:21):
stage with a bad economy, high inflation, high high unemployment
numbers maybe going up, low job growth, and then have
a president of the United States Americans like, dude, while
all this is happening, look at what you just did, Like,
what did you just do to Americans? You just raised
their taxes because you couldn't stand me, and you couldn't
(29:43):
stand that the tax cuts that I gave because you
want to control people through taxes, You want to control
people in their lives.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And this is a real.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Problem for us, right Like, this is a really really
big problem for us. And if you're watching the President
United States of America on stage having to respond to that,
I cannot imagine it's gonna go well for you.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
And you can even hear it.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
In the voices of those at the NBC, Like, as
they're telling this information, I think what they're what they're
saying here is like, yeah, we know it's bad, Like
we understand it. We know that things are not good.
We understand that that. He can't flip this around either,
like this is not saying that's going to that it's
(30:31):
going to happen. Let me also remind you of what
Donald Trump said about this.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Take a listen.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
This was New York City from court when he was
talking about inflation.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Uh, the economy. People are asking me about the economy.
It's doing terribly and interest rates are obviously not going
to be able to be reduced prior to the election
because inflation is roaring back.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
A gasoline's way up.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Are the things are way up and it's roaring back,
Like they are very surprised.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I'm not surprised with this. I guess they're surprised. That's
what they say. Anyway.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
So that's one of the economy looks pretty bleek for
interest rates, and I don't think there's any way they
can cut because inflation is very inflation.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Remember, it is a country buster.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
When you have inflation that breaks countries, I mean literally
breaks countries. And we can't take that chance. So we'll
see what they do. But it was sort of announced
Yester that they can't do much with the interest rates.
I have to remain very high. And it's very unfortunate.
We have low interest rates, they have high interest rates.
That's very unfortunate when you compare my economy to this economy,
(31:37):
not even to contest, were the greatest economy in history,
and now we have sort of allows the economy. But
the problem with the economy is the inflation. And anything
you made you more than gave back. We call it
a fifty percent tax. It's a fighten tax. It's called
an inflationary tax, and it's about fifty percent. That's what
it is, whether you like it or not.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
And it's too bad.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I mean, Donald try, that's a winning message. And there's
two things that I take away from this one. RFK
Junior is hurting big time Joe Biden extra three things.
That's number one. Number two, his nonstance on these radicals
on campus is hurting him as well. And number three,
the economy and the economic news is killing him as well.
(32:20):
This is a very bad week for Joe Biden. Don't
forget Share this podcast with your family and friends. Please
on social media. It's the only way we grow is
if you guys tell other people about this podcast. Please
rute us a five star review as well, and I'll
see you back here tomorrow
Joe Biden has been trying to play both sides of
the conflict with Israel and the terrorists Hamas has blid
of the Palestinians. Now it's coming back to Biden in
the rear end because apparently no one is happy with
what he is doing.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
He was trying to play kate with young people.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
That's the reason why he would not call out what
was happening on college campuses, because his re election campaign
understands just how important it is to.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Get young people to come out and vote for him.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
The problem is older people that want to support Israel
have now had enough of Joe Biden's foreign policy of
backing or well maybe I should say not backing Israel
and also not standing up to terrorism. There is a
new ras Musen pull out that is going to be
music to your ears if you're a Trump supporter, and
that is this Trump has widened his lead over Joe Biden.
(00:54):
Now let me break down this pulling for you so
you understand. This survey, which was really on Friday midday,
found that in a three way contest between Biden, Trump,
and RFK Junior, forty six percent of likely US voters
would choose Trump. Thirty six percent say they would choose Biden,
(01:17):
and in a shockingly high number, more than anyone realized
it was going to be, RFK Junior is at nine percent. Now,
where's the majority of this nine percent coming from that
RFK Junior now has in this new poll? It is
coming from young socialists, communists, and Green Party individuals. Now,
(01:38):
in a five way match, including the Green Party candidate
Jill Stein and forver Harvard professor Cornell West, forty eight
percent say they would vote for Trump, thirty six percent
for Biden, eight percent only moving one percent for r
FK Junior and one percent for West and one percent
(01:59):
for Stock.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
This third party candidacy of RFK Junior is hurting and
is a real alternative for many Democrats who are unhappy
with Joe Biden. Now, the current poll was conducted amid
Donald Trump's fraud trial in New York City, which also
at the moment seems to be backfiring as well. Now,
(02:22):
let me tell you some other things that we found
in this poll. Seventy one percent of voters say they
are excited about the twenty twenty four presidential election, including
forty seven percent who say they are very excited, meaning
that there's probably going to be pretty decent election turnout
because people are upset with what's happening in this country.
(02:43):
They're upset with the cost of living, services, goods, home prices,
interest rates, travel expenses, you name it, food, basic things, inflation.
It goes back to the issue of it's the economy stupid.
We did not see the same type of enthusiasm going
into the twenty election cycle. Just so you understand, fifty
(03:04):
nine percent, by the way of Trump voters say they're
very excited, and fifty percent of Biden voters say the
same thing. So there's more enthusiasm on the Republican side. Now,
before you get too excited about that, that is traditionally
normal the party who is not in charge. Okay, just
so you understand, I'm going to say this again, the
(03:27):
party who is usually not in charge of the White
House has more excitement around their candidate because they want
to get the White House back. So that number can
be a little bit misleading. Now, I'm glad that there's
fifty nine percent of Trump voters say they're very excited,
but that fifty percent of Biden voters.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Say the same thing tells you.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's a very partisan aspect of this poll, and even
Joe Biden, who I don't believe a lot of Democrats
are actually excited about the poll numbers are showing that
they'll lie and tell you they are. Now sixty percent
of Republicans say they're very excited about the presidential election,
and forty five percent of Democrats say the same thing.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
That is a very telling poll.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
B What that means is Republicans are excited about their
chances of taking back the White House, and Democrats are saying,
we'd rather delay this election. We're not excited about this
election because it doesn't seem like it's going in our direction.
Right now, here's something else that's interesting. Undecided voters ultimately
make the big decisions, right they have the biggest impact. Well,
(04:28):
here's what we know about undecided. Thirty six percent of
voters not affiliated with either parties say they're excited about
this election.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Whether they're excited.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Because they're angry or they're just excited because they're quote excited,
I don't know. But in a three way matchup, here's
what I can tell you. Trump gets eighty percent of
GOP voters. Biden is it's seventy percent of Democrats because
Democrats again are not as excited as Trump and Donald
Trump has united the party among unaffiliated voters.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
This is also very good news.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Trump is backed by forty four percent of unaffiliated voters
at the moment and Biden just twenty seven percent. Here's
something else, fifteen percent say they would choose RFK Junior
among unaffiliated voters. So it is he, It is helping Trump,
and it is hurting Biden that RFK Junior is still
in the race now in a five way matchup, just
(05:24):
so you know, when it comes down to the issue
of race, Biden gets thirty four percent of white voters,
sixty one percent of black voters, which actually that number
is pretty low, it should be over seventy percent historically,
and thirty percent just thirty percent of Hispanics and just
fourteen percent of other minorities. Now what this means, and
(05:44):
this may be the most telling thing as you pull
back the curtain on what voters are deciding and what's
important to them. The Hispanic community is enraged right now
by the amount of illegal immag that is falling into
this country because it is affecting their neighborhoods. Okay, more
(06:06):
than anyone else. The Hispanic community that's having to deal
with what is happening right now because of illegal immigrants.
They are furious, absolutely furious with the President of United
States of America. In a five way matchup, Biden gets
thirty four percent of white votes, but only thirty percent
(06:26):
of Hispanics, so he gets more white votes than Hispanic votes.
That is a nail in the coffin in many ways
for Joe Biden. He's got to figure out how to
turn that around before election day now, in either a
two way or five way match This is also something
else that's concerning.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
If you're Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
RFK Junior does best among Hispanics and other minorities who say, hey,
maybe I'm not willing to go all in for Donald Trump,
but I am willing to go against Joe Biden, whether
that's not voting at all or voting for RFK.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Now, what's interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
About RFK Junior is RFK Junior and his platform is
clearly a socialist platform, and many people that come from
outside this country, that come from socialist countries have no
problem with that platform. And that's part of the reason
why I think RFK Junior is so palatable to them.
One other thing that I want to pull out this poll,
(07:24):
a majority of voters forty and above say that they
would vote for Donald Trump, while Biden Trump are virtually
tied among those under forty, who are more likely to
say they'd vote for RFK jor. So again, there is
a big shift in this country and the next generation
that's coming up, this new generation of voters, these younger
voters who they are much more happy to say that
(07:46):
they are hardcore radical leftists, they don't like America. They're
the kids that you see on these college campuses right now,
and they say they'd vote for RFK Junior. Again, that
is their second choice. Is a lot of them is
actually Joe Biden. But as long as our FK Junior
is in this race, it seems to be hurting Joe
(08:07):
Biden more than anybody, Probably close to a two to
one margin over a vote being taken away from Trump.
In other words, every Trump voter that goes for our
FK Junior or someone that's most likely to vote for
Trump if he wasn't in there, we're probably taking two
votes away from Joe Biden. That is a good trade off.
If you are a conservative. I remember, by the way,
(08:31):
when we were when Ross Perot got in the race
in ninety two, and I remember when he got in
the race in ninety six, and I remember he was
taking more votes from Republicans than he was taking and
almost a two to one margin that he was taking specifically.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
From Bill Clinton.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
So without Ross Perot, Bill Clinton would not have been
President of the United States of America.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Like it just would not have happened.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
So that you, I want to be clear, if there's
anybody who should say a thank you know to every
single it would be Ross pro If you're Bill Clinton,
all right, I want to break down you look at
the pulling number that I just gave you and the
data I just gave you. Where is the what is
causing these major shifts that are hurting Joe Biden. The
most number one issue right now clearly seems to be
(09:16):
the economy. That's still very very true. But number two
is this playing both sides when it comes to Israel.
That is just destroying this President of the United States
of America because he's making older people mad while he's
also making younger people mad that we're going to vote
for him. So he's actually losing on both sides by
not taking a stance and actually just standing up for
(09:38):
whatever it is he actually believes in.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
He doesn't really seem to believe in anything.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
And that's the other problem here, is that when you
don't believe in anything, then everybody's.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Mad at you. And I think he thought, well, I
can get away with this. Now.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Let me also tell you what's about to happen in
Israel so that you understand this, because this is I
think extremely important. It has come out that Israel has
now given Hamas Right, which is a terrorist organization, a
week to either strike a deal or they say a
Rafa major offensive will begin.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Now they know what this is going to look like
because they've.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Already done it in Gaza, and so they're saying, do
you want to go through this again? Do you want
us to destroy it coming after you, or do you
want to do a deal?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
This is the first time that Israel seems to have
really publicly said, hey, we're ready to do a deal.
And Israel has said, all right, Hamas, and they're willing
to negotiate with a terrarists. We are willing to agree
to a ceasefire deal or we're going to go ahead
with our military operations in Rafa. Egyptian officials that were
(10:45):
briefed on the matter said this as the militant group Hamas,
which is a terrorist group, holds out for what they're
describing as better terms to ensure its survival. Now, Egypt
worked with Israel on a revised fire proposal that it
presented to Hamas last weekend that according to Egyptian officials,
(11:06):
hamas's political leadership was expected to consult with its military
wing in Gaza and then respond. The group's military leader
in Gaza, who is believed to be hiding in tunnels
in the in the enclave and makes the final decision,
apparently has not responded yet.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
There's still wait to see what he says. Now.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Egyptian officials conveyed the message from Israel to Hamas on Thursday,
so you understand the timeline here and the Central Intelligence
Agency director Burns we also have been told arrived in
Cairo Friday morning for meetings with the Egyptian officials about
efforts to reach a deal. Now, senior Hamas officials are
(11:43):
expected to arrive in Cairo Saturday to continue the negotiations.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Egypt has said as well. Now.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
The office of the Israeli Prime Minister net and Yahoo
declined to comment. Officials for Hamas have also declined to comment.
It's so weird when you can talk to the terrorists
this way, like through official press channels.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It's just unbelievable to me.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
But Egyptian officials are saying Hamas is seeking quote, a
long term truce and guarantees from the United States government
that a ceasefire will be respected by Israel. Hamas officials
have expressed concerns that the latest proposal is still too
vague and gives Israel room to restart the fighting. The
State Department didn't respond to requests for comment on this,
(12:24):
so everybody's leaking everywhere. Now Here's what is in this proposal,
all right, from what we've been told from Egypt, and
I have no reasonab believe that they're lying about this,
based on the fact that they're the ones putting it together.
The latest proposal calls for an initial period of calm
for up to forty days, during which Hamas would release
(12:45):
up to up to thirty three hostages, with a possible
negotiation of a long term cease fire to follow. Now,
the following phases would include a ceasefire of at least
six weeks, during which Hamas and Israel would aim to
agree on the release of more hostages, and an extended
pause in fighting that could last up to one year. So,
(13:07):
in other words, if you're a hostage right now, you're
looking at and they've got a lot of hostages still
that there would be, you're probably going to be held
for a best case scenario another two months up to
at least a year. That's not good news. If you're
a hostage right now, right that's not now. Negotiations over
(13:30):
the ceasefire deal have faltered and quote reignited several times
since a brief pause in fighting in November, with Hamas
and Israel apart on key points, including the ability for
civilians to return their homes in northern Gaza and a
path towards ending the war. The two sides have mostly
agreed upon conditions for a swap of Israeli hostages held
(13:52):
by Hamas and Palastinian prisoners held by Israel.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Egyptian officials have confirmed.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Now Netanyahu says the military will send ground forces into Rafa,
a city on the northern edge of the Gaza strip,
where more than one million palaicing and civilians are shelter
sheltering in place, regardless of whether a deal is struck.
The Israeli military has said Rafa is Hamas's last stronghold,
but behind closed doors, Israeli officials are considering postponing the
(14:19):
Raffa invasion indefinitely if a long term deal is struck,
Egyptian officials have confirmed. Now, let's talk about the terrorists
in Hamas real quick, all right. The Hamas terrorist officials
have voice concerns that bb right Nott in Yahoo was
provoking the group into refusing the proposal in order to
invade Rafa and then blame Hamas for the failure of
(14:41):
the negotiations. The group is expected to respond to the
proposal with a counter offer rather than immediately reject it,
according to Egyptian officials.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So there's a lot of politics that are now being
played here. Now.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
The Secretary of State, he's pretty worthless. Anthony Blincoln, he
visited Israel on Wednesday. He said it it was up
to the up to Hamas to accept the ceasefire deal
that's on the table. He was asked about Netnya, who's
threats to attack Rafa regardless, he said, the Israeli Prime
Minister could speak for himself, saying, quote Hamas will have
to make its own judgments about the threats on Rafa
(15:16):
And that's pretty much all he had to say. Now,
net Naho making it very clear, we're not screwing around here.
You got a week either do the deal or don't
do the deal, and we're coming. And net Nyahu remains
under a lot of pressure in Israel to get the
release of these hostages that were taken to Gaza on
October seventh. There's one hundred and twenty eight hostages from
(15:40):
the attack that we're being told to remain in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
At least thirty five of those.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
One twenty eight have been confirmed to have been have
died or been murdered. That according to the recently updated
figures from Israel. Israeli and American officials have privately estimated
that the number of dead could be actually, in fact,
much higher than the thirty five official deaths out of
the one twenty eight. They believe it could be actually
more than half from what I've been told. Now, if
(16:08):
you believe the Palestinians Health Ministry, which I don't, because
they lie all the time. A perfect example of their
lying is when they said Israel bomb their hospital was
actually a Hamas rocket, that misfire that hit the parking garage,
not the actual hospital. So they're prolific liars, just so
you know. But they say that more than thirty four
thousand Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the star
(16:29):
of the war.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Most of them civilians.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
The figure, by the way, doesn't specify how many were combatants, which.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I would love to note.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Now I don't believe the thirty four thousand number, and
the reason why I don't believe it is because they
lie all the time.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
They lie twenty four to seven. Let's just make that
very very very clear. So let's get back to Biben.
The politics here.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
This issue is hurting him in his reelection because he's
had to placate the radicals, the extremists, the Marxist, the
so shells, the extreme of his party who are funding
these protests all over the country now in college campuses.
But I want you to hear what Democrat Cliburn, James
(17:11):
Cliburn had to say when he was being asked about
Joe Biden now and the problems with this policy on
college campuses that just isn't working.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Listen, I'm going to.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Start with this because you just heard the eighty percent
of young people who disapprove of the way that Biden
has handled the Israel hamas War. I want to ask
you about this article that came out from Axios this
morning saying Democrats enter panic mode as Gaza protests erupt.
That as a tear from their headline. Several Democrats expressing
(17:42):
in that article concerned that the protest and the fact
that Biden has not been able to help get a
ceasefire could hurt his chances in November. And I want
to let you to listen to what Bernie Sanders told
our Kris Hihan Ahmenport on this.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Subject maybe of Biden's Vietnam Lyndon Johnson, in many respects
was a very very good president domestically, brought forth some
major pieces of legislation. He chose not to run in
sixty eight because of opposition to his views on Vietnam.
(18:18):
And I worry very much that President Biden is putting
himself in a position where he is alienated not just
young people, but a lot of the Democratic base.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
So you hear that argument there do you think the
argument is an extreme example?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
What do you make of it?
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Well, thank you very much for having me. It's a
good argument. You know. I never argue with history. I
tell people all the time, history be our teacher. I
was around doing Vietnam. I was around doing President Lyndon
Johnson's Great socidy programs that brought on voting rights, the
(18:57):
civil rights. Well he is vice president. We've got Civil
Exact of sixty four. But he brought on the Medicare, medicaid,
all those things that made us a great society. He
was the engineer of and all that went down the
(19:17):
drain because of Vietnam. And so these kinds of issues
could very well be taken over as in this instance.
We see that there are some outside forces, some that
I feel well, not only up and up, that are
involved in this. And so I share that concern that
(19:38):
we've got to be very careful that we do not
stymy protests. I am where I am today because of protests.
We did it non violently. Our disciple of Martin Luther
King Jr. Violent protests is not free speech, and that
(19:58):
is what we've got to get everybody to understand. And
Joe Biden protects free speech, but he also protects law.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
So Cliburn, they're trying to spend this right.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
This Axis article very clear Democrats inner panic mode as
God's a protests erupt. You notice Cliburn there was just
trying to like, you know, filibuster at the time as
much as he could. He didn't know what else to say,
which isn't surprising at all. This is what I would
expect from him. Joe Biden on the protests. The best
(20:35):
thing we've gotten out of him was at this speech
that I played for yesterday where he said, you know,
dissent must never lead to disorder, which is kind of
a joke because they never called this out when it
was Black Lives Matter, that we're burning down buildings.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
We'll deal with that in a second.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
They are in real trouble right now, and the polling
number clearly shows this. Joe Biden has got the problem
now with Israel. He's got the problem with the college
campuses and losing the young vote. He's got the problem
with RFK Junior. It's a bad day and it's about
to get worse. Why do I say that. Here's a
(21:12):
New Hill article that came out and this is what
the title says, Biden's worst case economic scenario is unfolding
at the worst possible time.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Last Thursday, the.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Bureau of Economic Analysis released its advanced estimates for twenty
twenty four first quarter real GDP right gross domestic product growth.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
It was only one point six percent.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It is the worst quarterly performance since the economy actually
contracted by zero point six percent almost two years ago
in the second quarter of twenty twenty two. This was
a growth level that was in fact one third behind
the economists prediction, their expectation.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
That it was going to grow at two point four percent.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
It is also a major drop from the twenty twenty
three to fourth quarter rate that was at three point
four percent and the twenty twenty three third quarter rate
that they were all bragging about the White House with
bidnomics of four point nine percent.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
What does this mean.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
It means that this is significantly slower growth and it's
coming on the heels of also higher inflation. The March
report on overall prices showed that the consumer price index
for all urban consumers rose three point five percent over
the last year three point eight percent when core inflation
(22:42):
right minus food and energy was considered meaning it's costing
you about four percent more now to live than it
was a year ago. That figure was higher than any
figure we've had since twenty twenty three September and marked
the third marked that is three two one, and it
(23:03):
marked this third consecutive monthly increase, meaning they do not
have consumer prices or inflation under control at all at
this White House.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
With quote Bidenomics. Now.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
The reason why I bring this up is because on
top of this right news I just gave you Friday morning,
more bad news came out about inflation, this time on
the personal consumer expenditures all right, that is excluding food
and energy. This is the Federal Reserve also preferred inflation
(23:38):
gauge that they really look at.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
So you understand how important this is to the FED.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Well, in March it rose two point eight percent compared
to a year ago, the same as in February, and
well above the Fed's expectations. So all of this is happening.
It meaning that it's hurting the average American. It's actually
hurting poor people more than anyone else. The reason why
I bring that up is because while all of this
(24:04):
bad news is coming, the White House has now announced
because of a question they were asked that they were
forced to answer that, yes, taxes are about to go
up for many Americans. You may remember the Trump tax cuts.
The White House is now saying that they are going
to let that tax cut expire, meaning that it's going
(24:28):
to raise taxes on the average American family. Listen to
this at the White House briefing from Friday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
The President says that he wants to let the tax cuts,
the Trump task cuts aspire.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
If that long expires, it does raise taxes on almost
every American. So does he still support that expiring without
anything else in place?
Speaker 7 (24:48):
So look, as you said, the President is going to
allow is going to let the Trump tax cut expire,
and he was very clear, but he will not raise
taxes on anyone making less than four hundred thousand dollars
a year.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
That, well, that's a lie, because if you let the
Trump tax cuts expire, you are absolutely raising taxes on
those making less than four hundred thousand dollars a year.
So this is a way of raising taxes without actually
saying that you're proposing raising the taxes. You're just saying, well,
I didn't like this Trump policy, these Trump tax cuts.
(25:27):
So I'm going to let him expire. I'm not going
to renew them. And the reason why is because he
wants to take more your money. He really doesn't care
about you. And the Democratic Party doesn't care about you either.
They just don't care. And so that's why the White
House gets away with saying it this way. They're like, well,
we're not going to raise tax on you. If you're
making every four hundred thousand, Yes you are, you absolutely are.
(25:49):
You also have something else, and that is the average
American now. And I go back the polls I mentioned earlier.
The average American now true believes that this president is
not looking out for them.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
And that is another major problem.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
When you look at the economy, you look at the markets,
you look at what is happening. Go back to CNBC
this morning, the April jobs report comes out, and this
is what they said on CNBC about these numbers.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Go to Rick Rick.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
We know that, you know, there's some people that just
they just think that inflace that comes down after unemployment
goes up. So we're not going to see inflace come
down until we get an uptick in unemployment. So there
are people that probably would like a little.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Bit cooler number.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
But this is you only got ten seconds to respond.
We might as well just wait now until we see
what the number is.
Speaker 9 (26:47):
Right, Yeah, you know, I'm like Stephanie, I want to
see people get jobs. So however that plays into the
hand of the Fed.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
That's their concern.
Speaker 9 (26:56):
And April non farm payrolls expanded much less than expected
one hundred and seventy five thousand. We're looking for a
number much closer to two hundred and fifty thousand, and
at least up to this point in the rear view
mirror three hundred and three thousand, there are revisions minus
twenty two thousand for a two month span. Now, if
(27:16):
you look at manufacturing, it went from zero to eight thousand,
so there is some improvement.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
And by the way, that three hundred.
Speaker 9 (27:22):
And three thousand last month went up three hundred and
fifteen thousand, which means last month three hundred and fifteen
thousand was the best since January of twenty three. Then
we go to one hundred and seventy five thousand, which
actually is the weakest since October October.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Of last year.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
So they're even saying like, hey, this is really really
bad and we all need to just admit how bad
it actually is, Like this is.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Really, really, really bad. And the President.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I go back to that headline that I read for
you a moment ago, and this headline from the Hill,
Iden's worst case economic scenario is unfolding at the worst
possible time, in the summer before an election. Now, can
the President turn this around? I don't think so. I
don't believe that he can turn this around. I don't
think there's a magic wand that's going to somehow change this.
(28:17):
Are we going to see interest rates go down the summer, No,
not to a point that it's going to be meaningful.
Are we going to see wages increases summer, No, not
at a point that's going to be meaningful for voters.
Are we going to have consumer confidence go up all
of a sudden out of nowhere in September October.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
No before the election? I know, I don't see that scenario.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
And on top of all that, you're about to raise
taxes on virtually every American taxpayer because you are going
to let it expire, right like you're going to let
the tax cuts from Donald Trump expire.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Now, part of this could just be because.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
You don't want to have to admit that you extended
the Bush the Trump tax cuts, right, like, that's part
of it. And so you know that Donald Trump's going
to stand on stage and be like, dude, you extended
my tax cuts because you knew they worked, and that's
what I did for Americans. But the other side of
this coin may actually actually be worse, I would argue
for him and you. And can you imagine being on
(29:21):
stage with a bad economy, high inflation, high high unemployment
numbers maybe going up, low job growth, and then have
a president of the United States Americans like, dude, while
all this is happening, look at what you just did, Like,
what did you just do to Americans? You just raised
their taxes because you couldn't stand me, and you couldn't
(29:43):
stand that the tax cuts that I gave because you
want to control people through taxes, You want to control
people in their lives.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And this is a real.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Problem for us, right Like, this is a really really
big problem for us. And if you're watching the President
United States of America on stage having to respond to that,
I cannot imagine it's gonna go well for you.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
And you can even hear it.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
In the voices of those at the NBC, Like, as
they're telling this information, I think what they're what they're
saying here is like, yeah, we know it's bad, Like
we understand it. We know that things are not good.
We understand that that. He can't flip this around either,
like this is not saying that's going to that it's
(30:31):
going to happen. Let me also remind you of what
Donald Trump said about this.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Take a listen.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
This was New York City from court when he was
talking about inflation.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Uh, the economy. People are asking me about the economy.
It's doing terribly and interest rates are obviously not going
to be able to be reduced prior to the election
because inflation is roaring back.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
A gasoline's way up.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Are the things are way up and it's roaring back,
Like they are very surprised.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I'm not surprised with this. I guess they're surprised. That's
what they say. Anyway.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
So that's one of the economy looks pretty bleek for
interest rates, and I don't think there's any way they
can cut because inflation is very inflation.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Remember, it is a country buster.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
When you have inflation that breaks countries, I mean literally
breaks countries. And we can't take that chance. So we'll
see what they do. But it was sort of announced
Yester that they can't do much with the interest rates.
I have to remain very high. And it's very unfortunate.
We have low interest rates, they have high interest rates.
That's very unfortunate when you compare my economy to this economy,
(31:37):
not even to contest, were the greatest economy in history,
and now we have sort of allows the economy. But
the problem with the economy is the inflation. And anything
you made you more than gave back. We call it
a fifty percent tax. It's a fighten tax. It's called
an inflationary tax, and it's about fifty percent. That's what
it is, whether you like it or not.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
And it's too bad.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I mean, Donald try, that's a winning message. And there's
two things that I take away from this one. RFK
Junior is hurting big time Joe Biden extra three things.
That's number one. Number two, his nonstance on these radicals
on campus is hurting him as well. And number three,
the economy and the economic news is killing him as well.
(32:20):
