Speaker 1 (00:01):
Buying votes? What does it cost to buy votes in America? Well,
the White House announced that they're going to spend seven
point seven billion dollars of your money to buy votes
this summer ahead of the election.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
How are they going to do it? Take a listen.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
White House is announcing another seven point seven billion dollars
in student loan debt relief. It's going to impact one
hundred and sixty thousand borrowers in three different groups. Those
who are getting public service loan forgiveness, those signed up
for the Safe Plan, and those receiving forgiveness on income
driven repayment plans.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Now, let me explain how that breakdown is going to happen.
Five point two billion of your tax dollars is going
to go to lazy borrowers public service loan forgiveness. So
you signed up, you went to as college? It cost
you too much? You you know, you went to university.
Maybe you couldn't afford. Who cares? Because now everybody else
is going to pay for this? And who are you

(00:57):
going to vote for? Joe Biden? Then six hundred and
thirteen million for borrowers these quote Save Plan, Who are
they going to vote for? Joe Biden, and finally just
a measly one point nine billion for borrowers on the
income driven retirement So people that refuse to pay out
their student loans be responsible. People that have iPhones and

(01:19):
every other gadget in the world but don't want to
pay out their student loans because now they're going to
be forgiven by the president.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
It's called buying votes.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
The president's administration says this move needed to be made,
but others disagree.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
We actually had a much more ambitious plan, but there
were forces working against that. So then the President said, well,
I'm going to go and do it on my own
to the extent I can, without Congress or without the
court supporting.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
This court stepped in, as you noted, but this is
a lawless president who's trying to buy votes and again
thinks that the American taxpayer should provide free college. So
he's trying to buy votes for the upcome election, just
like he did last year. It's going to fail, but
he's going to continue to try it.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
The slightest move brings the total amount of for given
student loans from one hundred and sixty seven billion dollars.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
One hundred and sixty seven billion dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
I'm going to tell you even more about how this
plan apparently is going to work in just a second.
But first I want to tell you about my friends
at ammo Squared. Ammo Squared helps you stock up on
ammunition each and every month automatmatically. It is a true
set it and forget it AMMO purchasing program, so you
pay the best price on the market. You pick your caliber,

(02:44):
you set your budget, and then you select a shipping
trigger and that's it. Your AMMO grows slowly over time,
and it is stored for free at amos squared as
it builds up and is shipped with just the click
of a button automatically when you want it. It's like
an ammunition four oh one K or an ammunition subscription

(03:05):
on steroids because you aren't forced into a set budget
and shipment every month. Instead, you decide your budget and
schedule when you want your AMMO ship to you. Ammo
Squared offers over sixty different caliber options, and each shipment
contains a carefully curated mix of factory new ammunition from
brands you know and love. It's budget friendly and customizable

(03:28):
by as little as a few dollars a month and
use dollar cost averaging to your advantage. Everything is managed
online using a simple web app. Forget about moving heavy
case of ammunition. You can literally exchange your Ammo with
Ammo squaredes inventory from one caliber to another as well
if you ever change calibers, and if you want to

(03:49):
sell that Ammo back one day for we big profits.
If the price of AMMO goes through the roof like
we saw during COVID, then you can do that as well.
That's why I said, it's like an Ammo four oh
one k. Hey, sign up at amosquare dot com slash
ben today. That's ammosquared dot com, slash ben today, and
you're gonna get free Ammo in your account. That's right,

(04:12):
You'll get free MO in your account Amo square dot com,
slash Ben. Now, Biden approving the seven point seven billion
a new student loan handouts is massive. He is doing
this even though the court said you can't actually do
this right. This is something you're not supposed to be
able to do.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
But when you're.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Buying votes, you got to figure out a way to
buy them. So how do you do it? This is
how you do it. You say, I'm gonna do it anyway.
I'm gonna go around Congress. I'm gonna go around the courts.
If it gets struck down, it doesn't matter. The money's
already gone out there, and I can do whatever the
hell I want to do because I'm the President of
the United States of America. And the timing of this

(04:50):
is right before the first debate we're gonna have coming
up in a little over a month. He wants to
be able to look at the American people and say,
I just paid off your student loan debt. So you
guys should be ex that I just did this right,
that this is amazing. And the White House was asked
a little bit about like debt in general today on
this I want you to hear what the White House

(05:11):
Press secretary had to say.

Speaker 6 (05:12):
Then, is the White House's message to those Americans who
did not attend college for a variety of reasons, perhaps
including perhaps that they didn't want to take on all
the death that went with it. Right now that they
feel like, in some form they are responsible for allowing
those who did not to pay their fair share.

Speaker 7 (05:28):
So look, here's the thing. This is a president who
has been very clear about making sure that he's building
an economy that leaves no one behind, right, making sure
that they.

Speaker 6 (05:37):
Left behind the ones who didn't get support because they
didn't know a college.

Speaker 7 (05:40):
I hear your question, but this is if you look
at what the president has done all holistically over the
past three and a half years, he has tried to
build an economy for everyone.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
You notice what she just said there. Yeah, we're screwing
the people that were responsible. Yeah, we're screwing the people
that decided not to go to college because they couldn't
afford it and they got left behind. Yeah, they're paying
for somebody else else's loans. But don't worry. This president
has a holistic approach, right, a holistic approach. That's what

(06:09):
he's got, a holistic approach.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
There's also another word that they keep using.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
I'm talking about the left and the media and the
president right in Jean Pierre, and they keep saying we're
going to cancel student loan debt.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
They're not canceling any debt. The debt's being paid.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
The debt is being paid by the taxpayers who are
paying the bill. There is no student loans that are
being canceled. You're transferring the debt from one person to another.
If I cancel someone's debt, what that means is that
no one's paying the debt, right that you would eat it, Well,
no one's eating this because the American taxpayer is the

(06:48):
one that is now inheriting billions and billions of dollars
of student loan debt.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
And they tell you, no, no, it's canceled. No it's not.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
If you were canceling the debt, no one would ever
pay the bill on the debt. You're just taking the
debt out of a out of an individual's name, and
instead of one person paying that debt, you have a conglomerate,
which is the American taxpayers that are now paying that debt.
Nothing is being canceled, but the White House continues to
push this law.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
I listen.

Speaker 7 (07:17):
Today we announced that the Biden Harris Administration cancels student
debt for an additional one hundred and sixty thousand people,
meaning four point seventy five million.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Americans, Meaning that four point million Americans are going to
now have student loan debt that is going to be canceled.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
And we are so very proud of this moment.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
In time, I go back to what I said at
the very beginning, there is only one reason why they're
doing this right now, and that is it's a very
simple reason. They are trying to buy votes. That is
all this is is buying votes. And yes, the White
House admitting that this is an outreach, but they say

(07:56):
they want Americans to feel like there is some sort
of success here, right. They want Americans to feel like
this is good for all Americans, that everybody should come
together and be proud to pay off everyone else's student
loan debt. And if you didn't go to college because
you couldn't afford it, don't worry. We've got a holistic approach,

(08:17):
so you should be happy that your dollars are now
going to pay off someone else's student loan debt who
refused to pay it off. I'm mad by the way
I paid off my student loan debt. When I was
twenty years old, I got a book deal and William
Morrow gave me my book deal under HarperCollins, and I
got my first check.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
And I did two things.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
I paid the taxes, and the very next thing I
did was I called ed South Financial.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
I'll never forget it. I called them.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
I was like what do I owe? I want to
pay it off? And they're like, you owe money. I'm
like yeah, I want like like like what do I owe?
Tell me what I owe? I want to know what
I owe and I want to pay it off. They're like,
well we can. You know, you've got a low interest rate.
You may not want to pay it. I'm like, no,
I don't want the student loan debt. I did it
at twenty years old. I could have gone out and

(09:03):
bought a cool car or a watch, or blown it on,
whatever the crap you want to blow it on at
twenty years old. But I didn't because I was a
responsible individual, a very young adult. And now I get
screwed again because of the Biden Hairs administrations. Like we're
desperate for votes, all right, let's buy them from people

(09:24):
to have student loan debt. We're gonna spend seven this
This is nothing. This is an in kind contribution to
the campaign Biden. Here is for president. They just raised
seven point seven billion dollars to pay off the student
loan debt from the taxpayers to buy votes. There's also
if you take a step back and and just move

(09:45):
away from the the very clear point that yes, they're
buying votes. Why are they having to do this because
they have nothing they can run on. Joe Biden cannot
run on Bidenomics. He cannot run on foreign policy, he
cannot run on national security. He cannot run on being
god that doesn't get us into wars, and there's multiple

(10:05):
wars that are breaking out around the world. He can't
say that he's secured the border, and he can't say
he's kept the prices of goods and services down with
inflation through the roof. So when everything that you've done
as president has turned into a massive failure, a massive failure,

(10:27):
this is what you have to do to try.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
To win election.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
You try to lock up your political opponent, and Donald
Trump they're obviously trying to do that right now. You
put a kill order to maybe kill the president when
you go raid mar Lago.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Right, that happened. We haven't gotten to that yet.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
That happened, right there was literally, Oh yeah, you can
use deadly force if Donald Trump and his goons aren't
doing what you wanted to do, including the Secret Service.
So you could add a gun battle between the FBI
and the Secret Service protecting the president because they gave
a order that yeah, you can use deadly force. Who
gave that order, the Attorney General of the United States America,
Americ Garland.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
So let's take them out of Marlogo.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
If that didn't work, we'll throw them in court cases
and throw them in jail that way. If that doesn't
work and take them out, then I find we'll pay
off student loan debts. That should buy us one hundred
and sixty thousand plus votes. Now the math on one
hundred and sixty thousand, You also need to understand it's
not just the one hundred and sixty thousand, because of
one hundred and sixty thousand that they're forgiving debt all

(11:23):
almost all of those, probably ninety nine point nine percent
of them are eligible to vote, all right, and they
know that are probably many the majority of them are
probably registered to vote, and so they understand that. So
this is a you know, you're not forgiving debt of
people who can't vote, right, Like you're doing this brilliantly.

(11:44):
You're like, hey, let's really only get rid of the
debt of people that we know are over the age
of eighteen that can vote, right. That would be college students,
because if you're in college nine nine point nine to
nine percent of you are over the age of eighteen,
so this is smart vote by. And then there's the
law we call it in politics, the law of twos.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
And then there's a law of fours, the law of six.
So let me explain that.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
But first I want to take a quick moment to
talk to you real quick about your retirement and inflation
and the eroding of the power of the dollar. Right now,
inflation is well above what the Fed's target rate is.
You know what's happened. Consumer prices are much higher than
they were last year, or the year before and the
year before that. That's why all of us need a

(12:29):
financial plan that ensures that money that we save today
will be enough for us tomorrow. And that's why I've
diversified my investments to include gold and silver. Now, there
are a lot of gold and silver companies. You hear
them every day if you listen to conservative podcasts or
talk radio, if you watch TV conservative networks, you'll see
tons of companies. Well, let me tell you about Freedom

(12:51):
Gold USA. Reason why I love them. They preach protection
and diversifying your assets. They will not tell you to
put all your money in gold and silver. Now here's
the other thing that is really important to you. You
work hard for your money, just like I do. And
on average they charge twenty five to thirty percent less
than most major gold and silver firms. So the ones

(13:12):
that you hear from, they're gonna charge you, on average
twenty five to thirty percent more than what you're gonna pay.
When you call my friends at freedom Goold USA, now
you can take control your financial future right now, and
you can also get free silver in your account. They
will walk you through the process, talk to you about

(13:32):
about diversifying your investments your IRA you'r four oh one k,
or having just physical gold in your safe. Take control now.
Visit FREEDOMGOLDUSA dot com slash ben that's freedom Goold USA
dot com slash ben, or you can call them one
eight hundred sixty five y five eight eight four three

(13:53):
that's one eight hundred sixty five five eight eight four
three or online at freedom Goold USA dot com slash ben. Now,
of the one hundred and sixty thousand people that are
gonna get a letter from Joe Biden saying I paid
off your student loans, the mass majority of them are
probably either living with somebody or married, so Now you

(14:15):
bought two votes, so you're one sixty just doubled goes
to three twenty. So now you've just bought three hundred
and twenty thousand votes. But then you have the laws
of fours in politics, which is okay. So we've touched
the person that had the issue. Then we've touched the
direct loved one of the person had the issue. Right,
that's the that's the boyfriend, the girlfriend, the best friend,

(14:35):
the married.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
And then you go to the family.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
So you're sitting around dinner over the over the weekend
coming up right, holiday weekend, Memorial Day weekend, and you're
sitting around the table.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
With your family.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
You're gonna be able to pick up a couple more
supporters because you're you're a little timmy. And then little
Susie walk in. They're like, Mom, Dad, Grandpa, grandma, guess
what I just got my student loans forgiven. Well you
should say, hey, mom and dad, you just paid off
my student loans. Thank you, all your friends, all everybody
pays taxes like I got lucky.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
You guys got screwed. But of course that's not the
conversation that's going to be hat.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
So now you've got a table that just goes, Oh
my gosh, are you serious. Yeah, I had sixty thousand
dollars in student loan debt or fifty or forty or
thirty or twenty or whatever the number is, and it
just disappeared. Man, I like this, Joe Biden, guy, Hey,
you just took away my son's debt, my daughter's debt,
my granddaughter's debt, my grandson. So now you got the
law of fours, which has gone from the original two
to another two that then can jump into eight.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
And now you've got a whole family.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
It's like, all right, well look you just you know,
imagine you've got two grandkids, this happens too, or two kids.
Now you're talking about six figures of debt forgiveness in
your family. So now you didn't just buy one hundred
and sixty thousand votes. You could buy millions of votes
by just spending seven point seven billion dollars of taxpayer

(15:58):
money to pay off this debt. I want you to
hear what a doctor had to say about this. There
is a doctor. Representative Greg Murphy's Republican for North Carolina.
He went on Fox Business Channel was asked about the
student loan forgiveness as a doctor, right, Doctors go to
a lot of school, They take on a lot of debt.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Listen to what he said.

Speaker 8 (16:18):
Noowhouse Ways and Means Committee Member North Carolina Congressman Greg Murphy, Congressman,
you're a doctor. You must have went to a ton
of school. You probably had a lot of student loans.
And we're all glad you went to school, and we're
glad you could take out those loans. But it doesn't
sound like a lot of Americans want to pay those
loans back for you. And yet the government saying it's

(16:39):
a top priority for them.

Speaker 9 (16:41):
Why, well, it's Kamala saying that, and it's President Biden
saying that.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (16:45):
You know, when guys, we grew up in a day
when you signed on the dotted line and you said
you were going to do something, it meant something. The
mind administration has pushed that to the whim. And you
hear I had Kamala. She just said, we're going to
go around Congress and the courts because we know that
this is unconstant.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I think to this point, over over.

Speaker 9 (17:02):
A trillion dollars, and here you have eighty seven percent
of the individuals who don't have student loans paying for
thirteen percent or due who by the way, the majority
come from up their upper earning income individuals. So it's
not something I think America has an appetite for.

Speaker 10 (17:19):
And when it comes to the Fox News poll, only
forty three percent right now care about the repayment of
student loans as their top issue. Really grossery prices eighty
nine percent say that's their top issue. And so you
think about this, and you think about the Body administration
and all the promises they made that they did not
follow through with and even broke in many ways, for

(17:42):
example inflation and the prices that we're seeing at the store.
So I come back to this student loan issue and
I think to myself, they just want to jam it
through so at least they can say that they were
able to do something.

Speaker 9 (17:56):
Yeah, but when you add another trillion dollars to the debt,
and yeah, you run a try buying young voters gives
good Lord with the October seventh massacre, now the young
Democratic vote is split, so he's trying to go back
and buy these things. This is what's happened with this administration.
Guy's plain and simple. Everything's political despite its harm to
the economy, harm to our deficit, and it's not going

(18:17):
to have a good ending. And again, America doesn't want this.
I was surprised that those numbers that you just cited.
I don't know anybody who feels that they should have
their loans forgiven, just written off so or some poor
plumber who never went to school would have to pay
him well.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
The point he made there by the way, he's absolutely right.
The president of the United States of America is in
deep trouble with these students that are angry with him
for his stance early on to stand by Israel. And
they're fundamentalists, they're radicals, they're pro Hamas, they're pro terrorists,
Marxists and communists and socialists on these college campuses, and

(18:56):
they hate that Joe Biden has done anything to help Israel.
They're enraged that Joe Biden has given any support to Israel.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
And they're not backing down.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
And so now you've got a president that has got
to figure out, all right, how do I literally buy
the votes that I may be losing. Because part of
what I do think he understands is this he understands
very clearly, or at least his campaign does I'm not
sure he understands much, to be honest with you, but

(19:29):
his campaign understands very clearly this.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
We have got to make sure.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
That those students who are not going to show up
for as this time are replaced with other people that
may actually stand up and vote for us that we
wouldn't have gotten originally to replace them. So this is
how we do it. And we don't care. You notice
this goes back to the issue of lawlessness. They do

(19:56):
not care that they're breaking the law by doing this.
They do not care that they're screwing the American taxpayer
by doing this.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
They do not care at all.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Like, they don't care, folks. It's just about winning. It's
about winning at all costs.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Like this is.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
And look, they understand that things don't look good for
them as a Democratic Party right now.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
I'll give you an example.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
CNN posted the lowest rated week in prime time last
week since nineteen ninety one.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Now why does that matter.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
It means that the Democratic Party that usually is obsessed
with watching CNN, that you know, is obsessed with them
ripping on Trump.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
They're now not happy with their own.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Party, so they've just turned off the channel that they
usually are cheerleading on That's what that means. In translation,
you also got to put into perspective with a student
loan debt forgiveness something else, and that is this isn't
the first time that this has happened. It's gone to

(21:13):
courts and they were told you can't do this, and
they figured out a quick work around.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
It is what they've done. In essence. Listen to Maria Bartiromo.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
She opened her show on Fox Business doing the total tally.
And I want you to listen carefully because we hear
numbers like billion this, fifty billion here, seventy five here,
a hundred yere, and you somewhat become numb to it.
So I want you, when you listen us to not okay,
become numb to it. I want you to listen to this,
and I want you to think about how much of

(21:46):
your tax dollars just went to deal with this issue.
And by the way, I wouldn't be surprised if they
did another round of forgiveness before election day as well.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Take a listen. Breaking news this morning.

Speaker 11 (21:58):
President Biden has announced more student loan handouts this morning,
saying he'll cancel seven point seven billion dollars in student
debt for one hundred and sixty thousand borrowers. The administration
has already approved almost one hundred and sixty billion dollars
in student loan debt cancelation for more than four million people.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
In a statement.

Speaker 11 (22:16):
Released this morning, Biden writes, quote, I will never stop
working to cancel student debt, no matter how many times
Republican elected officials try to stop us. I assume he's
referring to the Supreme Court. Joining me now is Virginia
Congressman Bob Good. He's the chairman of the House Freedom
Caucus and a member of the Education and Budget committees. Congressman,
I should we assume that it's the Supreme Court that

(22:39):
the President is saying he's not going to listen to.

Speaker 5 (22:42):
Well, he's going to stop on January nineteen of twenty
twenty five because he's not going to be president anymore.
But this president thinks he has constitutional authority, does not
have authority. He said he didn't have what about a
year and a half ago when he said he didn't
have authority on his own to do unilaterally do it.
Nancy Pelosi said he didn't have authority to do it,
and yet he continues to do it anyway, He's spending

(23:03):
money that we don't have. He's further bankrupt in the
United States, and the further harm in the economy. Not
to mention the fact, we had in our Education Committee
a hearing with Secretary of Cardonia recently and I asked him,
I asked him if student loan debt is legitimate, is
a legitimate debt? Is a debt that should be paid?
And he wouldn't answer that question. I also asked him,

(23:23):
should we continue to make student loans if we're not
going to require borrowers to pay him back?

Speaker 2 (23:27):
And he wouldn't answer that question. Well, what do you
mean is it real?

Speaker 11 (23:30):
I mean, what is the question that you're asking in
terms of is this real, real debt that we're forgiving?

Speaker 5 (23:37):
Well?

Speaker 2 (23:37):
What were you getting?

Speaker 5 (23:38):
Well, Biden his administration seemed to think that student loan
debt is somehow illegitimate, that people who borrow it shouldn't
have to pay it back, that somehow they were maybe
forced into it and they shouldn't have to make payments.
I asked them, you know, should people have mortgages make
those payments? People have car loans or credit card loans?
Should they make those payments. Why is this student loan debt?
This administration somehow thinks it's illegitimate and the actual borrowers

(23:59):
shouldn't pay him back and that debt should instead be
transferred to the taxpayers who didn't borrow the debt.

Speaker 11 (24:04):
Well, I don't understand the way this is happening at all.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
On July tenth, twenty twenty.

Speaker 11 (24:10):
Three, the Supreme Court ruled in Biden versus Nebraska six
to three. The court struck down the administration's student loan
forgiveness program and agreed with those pushing against it under
the court's ruling.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Again last year July.

Speaker 11 (24:28):
Twenty twenty three, under the Court's ruling, the US Department
of Education was prohibited from implementing the Biden Harris Administration's
debt relief program. Why does this president continue to forgive
student loan debt despite the fact that the Supreme Court
has ruled this unconstitutional?

Speaker 2 (24:47):
And eden before the Supreme Court did it, we passed it.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
My Congressional Review Act passed both houses of Congress, the
House and the Senate on a bipartisan basis, overturning his
previous student loan transfer scheme. And yet he vetoed it,
and thankfully the Supreme Court stepped in, as you noted.
But this is a lawless president who's trying to buy
votes and again thinks that the American taxpayer should provide
free college.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
So he's trying to buy.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
Votes for the upcoming election, just like he did last year.
It's going to fail, but he's going to continue to try.
He's going to relentlessly try until he's no longer president.

Speaker 11 (25:17):
It's quite extraordinary to me that he continues doing this
despite the Supreme Court ruling.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
What is the Supreme Court here for?

Speaker 11 (25:24):
If we're not listening, we're just blowing off what they said.

Speaker 5 (25:28):
Well, this is a lawless administration. They don't enforce the
border laws. They're weaponizing their Department of Injustice and federal
law enforcement against their political opponents. So it's no surprise.
So they don't think they're bound by the Supreme Court
or the Constitution in terms of who's able to spend money.
They don't want to work through Congress. Fact that they
can't work through Congress. That's why the Congressional Review Act
overturned his previous student loan transfer scheme that was nearly

(25:50):
a trillion dollars.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
This is all quite extraordinary to me. Korean. Your reaction, Well.

Speaker 12 (25:55):
I think that the president is desperate to get any
votes that he can, especially for young people. But funny enough,
young people aren't having any of it. I've been reporting
with progressive groups like the Sunrise Movement, and they're fixated
on the oil on oil drilling, and they think Biden
is drilling too much. Meanwhile, his core voters think that
he's not drilling enough. So really, there's nothing that the

(26:16):
president can do to win right now. And this is
a political play out.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
But it's interesting that it's a political play did you
hear that? Like, he can't win on anything right now.
He can't win on Israel, he can't win on oil,
he can't win on electric vehicles, he can't win on
the economy, can't win on the on the on foreign
policy issues, like, he just can't win on any of it.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
So if you can't win on any of it, what
do you do?

Speaker 1 (26:46):
You say, the Supreme Court of the United States of America,
here's a middle finger. I'm going to do what I
want to do, how I want to do it, whenever
I want to do it, because I'm a dictator. And
a tyrant. And by the way, this is literally what
dictators in tyres. They do not abide by the law.
They do not listen when they're the law strikes them down.

(27:07):
They don't do anything, okay, like, they don't do anything
that the that the authorities are, the powers that be
tell them to do.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
That's what makes them dictators.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
And what the President's doing now is I think saying, look,
you guys can't stop me. Okay, you can't stop me
by by by election day, and once this money gets
debvied out and these debts are paid off, then I'm
in I'm in great shape because once it's done, it's done.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
You guys can slap me on the risks afterwards.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
But if this is what I have to do to
get re elected, then I'm gonna do it. Just look
at what Biden administration announced yesterday. They announced yesterday, and
this is also about buying votes, that the oil release
from the Northeast gasoline supply reserve was going to hit
the market. It's a million barrels of oil that are

(28:08):
going to be released. We have a oil reserve that's
at the lowest level that's been in my lifetime right now,
and we're going to release another million barrels, which is
four hours of capacity in this country.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Okay, so put that into perspective. But why is he
doing it.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
He's trying to artificially lower the price of oil. And
why is he trying to artificially lower the price of
oil Because it's a holiday weekend coming up, and gas
prices are higher than they were this time last year,
and the national average is three dollars and sixty three
sixty seven cents a gallon whatever it is. So therefore,
let's go ahead and release a million barrels of oil

(28:48):
to artificially lower the price so that I might have
a better chance of getting re elected again. That is
buying votes. They will stop at nothing. So think about
the plan right now. Lock the Trump up, take away
his property and buildings, keep bringing up court cases, and

(29:08):
keep him off the campaign trail to interfere with the election.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Okay, so that makes sure you throw that in there.
We've got him.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
We got him, you know, six weeks in a courtroom.
And during those six weeks, why he's locked up in
this courtroom. We're winning, right, like, we're winning, like this
is amazing. We we are winning big time because this
guy can't be out there campaigning because we've got him
stuck in a courtroom in a frivolous lawsuit that the

(29:35):
federal government wouldn't even bring.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Eight years ago.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
This is law fair against the President of the United
States of America, Donald Trump. And then that's all right.
So while we're doing that, well, then we've got to
move on to something else. What do we do? What
else can we do? Right, like, we got to we
gotta do something else. What's the next thing that we
got to do?

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Well?

Speaker 1 (29:54):
I mean we hey, we got it, I mean we
got it. All right, Well, let's see, hold on, how
can we have can we handle this?

Speaker 2 (30:00):
What do we do next?

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Let's you know what we could do? We could Oh yeah,
let's let's let's let's let's pay off some student loan debts.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Let's do that.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Yeah, that'll work. That'll get people excited. That'll that'll get
some people fired up. Here, let's do that. Let's get
let's let's make that happen. That'll that'll really get people ready.
That'll get people excited. And there's your game plan. This
is the Biden reelect campaign, full speed ahead.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
No matter what.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
I'll go back to the White House Press heritarial quick
because even the media is like kind of scratching their
head on this one.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
And I want you to hear the first.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Question that was asked her after she made this big
announcement of all the student loan debt that's going.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
To be paid off by the taxpayers.

Speaker 6 (30:42):
Wellpen today's briefing by talking about the latest student loan
cancelations for I think he said, what do we say
until the four point seventy.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Five billion Americans?

Speaker 6 (30:50):
Now I think it's one hundred and sixty thousand, This
latest run by Johnson, the Republican House Speaker today described
this as a massive wealth transfer for Americans who did
not attend college to those you did, and you described
as a shameful play to buy more bout six months
before an election.

Speaker 7 (31:07):
I will say, how to a congressional member Mike Johnson,
obviously the speaker is that what is shameful is that
Republicans continue to get in a way of helping us
deliver a little bit of breathing room for Americans who
deserve that opportunity, who deserve You heard me talk about
about Tiffany, the young woman who one of the things
that people should know and if you don't, is that

(31:29):
when folks are receiving these debt relief announcements from the President,
they have an opportunity to tell their story. They have
an opportunity to say why this matters to them. And
we're talking about millions of Americans who now have an
opportunity to start a life, have an opportunity to move

(31:50):
forward in a way that where they can reach that
American dream or reach whatever it is that they wanted
to do, not just for themselves, for their family. So
we believe, and the President's not going to walk away
from doing that. He believes it's an important commitment that
he made to Americans. It is a broken system.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
So people taking out student loan debt on their own
without a gun to their head means that it's a
broken system. And so therefore they can steal money from
you and they can give it to others. There you
have it, folks, that's the ballgame. Make sure you share
this podcast with your family and your friends. Please and
