Speaker 1 (00:14):
Welcome to weekly briefing. I'm Chanel run. Everything's stalled out.
Russia's stuck in the embarrassment of a Ukraine quagmire. They
could have taken Ukraine inside of three weeks, but didn't.
They're holding back. Why China's too scared to invade Taiwan.
They're holding back. Why the FBI should have been able
(00:35):
to devour mar Lago and Trump once and for all.
The FBI has never launched a full scale raid without
an arrest. Two weeks out, They've got nothing. They're holding back.
Why the reason Russia, China and the Democrats DJ are
all holding back is because they don't know what Trump
(00:57):
is going to do with them in twenty twenty five.
The greatest advantage the entire world has against evil actors
right now is that Donald Trump remains more powerful as
a sitting candidate for president than anyone in four generations.
The threat of Trump's return is doing more right now
(01:18):
to restore the balance of power on the national and
international stage than anything the insulting, high heel limping men
in dresses in Biden's cabinet could possibly do. While Biden
went hat in hand begging the Saudis for oil. Trump
began to export more oil than we imported for the
first time in seventy years, showing them who the real
(01:42):
boss was. Where was Biden's ceremonial sword dance. Here's Trump
being showered with Saudi Arabia's finest cultural displays. This was
the Saudi's acknowledging the first real power they've seen since
General Eisenhower. In case you need reminding, the weight of
what I just said is in the fact that Saudi
(02:02):
Arabian tribes would still be living in tents were it
not for the American Eisenhower generation. The Saudis don't roll
out the red carpet for puppets like Biden. They just
expect Biden types to kiss their feet. Remember when Trump
pushed his way to the front and that swarm of
NATO leaders. He'd have been justified if this was ego driven,
but it wasn't. Trump was pushing his way to the
(02:23):
front for America. He was and is a man who
can't stand for America to be last on anything, and
the world knew it. He didn't have to prove that
he owned his own seven forty seven. He didn't have
to prove he owned his own golf course in Scotland
or ninety story buildings in Manhattan and Chicago. He didn't
have to prove any of this. After all, most of
(02:46):
these bureaucratic native leaders still have car payments in their
respective countries. Trump didn't have to be there for any
of it. Trump was there for one reason, to put
America first, and he did. But let's bring it home
to the national landscape. What is the DOJ and the
FBI even doing right now? Do they even know? When
(03:10):
Judge Reinhardt asked the DOJ to redact the affidavit sparking
the raid on mar A Lago, the Department of Justice
told the judge they just didn't have the time or
manpower to do it. Translation, sorry, Judge, we don't have
a case. Please understand. The FBI reached out to President
Donald Trump, with President Biden's green light, asked Trump for
(03:33):
all documents he had from the White House. President Trump
obliged and gave everything he had. The FBI took all
he had, locked it away with their own lock and
key at mar A Lago, only to return in a
nine hour, thirty man raid to break into their own
vault and claim Trump was stealing classified government secrets. Could
(03:55):
there be anything more embarrassing than this charade? Nowell, the
best they can do is leak like the bedwetters. They
are that there were seven hundred pages of classified documents
hidden away by Trump himself, all of it moot under
the Presidential Records Act. So who's the useful idiot leading
this blink check looting of mar A Lago. Take a
(04:20):
good look Alan Koehler, FBI assistant director, who coordinated the
mar A Lago raid at the behest of a DNC
donor at the FBI, and having clearly gone too far
on all this, even the judge on the case is
pushing back, urging more transparency. The dj doesn't want this.
(04:41):
They went too far and now they're petrified. But this
is the least of their worries. Here's why Donald Trump
can sue every single FBI agent who stepped foot on
mar A Lago personally, and right now every lawyer on
Trump's payroll should be executing a lawsuit against every agent
(05:03):
who stepped foot on Trump's personal property, including little mister
Allan Kohler. Here's how the legal precedent to sue the
FBI agents and officials individually is in a nineteen seventy
one Supreme Court case called Bivens versus six unknown named agents.
(05:24):
Bivens allows Trump to sue the FBI agents one miserable agent, director,
assistant director, and waterboy at a time. And by the way,
want to guess why these FBI leaders don't want an
unredacted affidavit out there for all to see. It's because
(05:45):
they sought a general warrant to grab anything they had
to lie and omit to the judge and the hot
light of day quivers on the horizon, blank check police day.
General warrants are absolutely forbidden under US law. If you
need that reminder, FBI, and I want you to listen
(06:07):
to me right now. The Fourth Amendment was written to
counter what you did at mar A Lago to Trump.
The much hated general warrant used and abused by the
rotten British Crown was one of the sparks that set
off our independence from a corrupted, elitist, debt strapped empire.
(06:29):
It's our understanding Donald Trump is spending four million dollars
a week on legal fees as of today. Imagine him
leveraging those four million dollars a week against individual agents
of the FBI that can happen starting today. Watch the
dominoes fall. Joining us after the break is a man
(06:55):
who worked closely with doctor Anthony Fauci all throughout the
twenty twenty COVID outbreak. In Fauci's case, the dombros won't
just be falling, They'll be crashing down upon him like
an avalanche when we return.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Welcome back to weekly Briefing. This week, doctor Anthony Fauci
announced he would be stepping down from his positions as
director of NIAID, as chief of the NIAD Laboratory of
Amino Regulation, and as Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden.
The eighty one year old is set to leave government
service this December, joining to discuss is a man who
(09:50):
worked with doctor Fauci throughout the height of COVID nineteen
and twenty twenty. An American physician, pathologist, and biological weapons expert,
doctor Stephen Full Doctor Legacy. Media is lauding Dr Fauci's
legacy and his imprint on the outcome of the pandemic
and his handling of the entire thing. You have a
(10:12):
very different opinion, don't you.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Indeed, doctor Fauci's handling of the pandemic was a disaster
and has contributed to thousands and thousands of American deaths.
His failures are legendary. From day one, Virtually every he
(10:39):
ignored the national pandemic plan to start with talk down
outpatient early outpatient treatments, wouldn't even look at the data,
and instead favored a inpatient hospital treatment called rem disappear,
which the early Chinese studies showed was high toxic, and
(11:03):
ordered one point two billion dollars of this before the
second drug trial was done.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You worked very closely with the trade advisor Peter Navarro
and you. Initially in the early days of the pandemic,
you were looking into hydroxychloroquin You were looking at the
studies that hydroxychloroquine was quite effective when applied to patients
with COVID nineteen at a very early stage. Yet you
had a lot of pushback out of Fauci's office when
(11:30):
it came to any kind of discussion outside of Remdeza.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Fhere is that right, Yes, Peter would have a meeting
with him. Fauci would dismiss this as antidotal information because
it wasn't a randomized, controlled clinical trial. The data was
coming in. There were twenty four papers from China at
the time, and four or five very good observational studies
(11:58):
in France and and the United States showing that there
was an overwhelming benefit here. Pete Navarro had a big
fight with Fauci in the situation room over this, and
we had prepared some documents for him. Peter gave him
(12:18):
to Fauci and he just dismissed it. These are not
the actions of a man who's there to help the
president make informed decisions.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
We've asked this question of you before, and it's been
probably now about a year since we've talked about this,
But why was Fauci so adamantly opposed to these other solutions,
other options? It seems like someone in the medical profession,
someone in the scientific world would be open to all
(12:52):
possible and likely solutions to something that was so unfamiliar
to everybody. Why was he so certain shut these other
options down?
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Well, you're quite right. You would think that the senior
advisor for the pandemic would be looking for any answer.
The only thing I can come up with to explain
this is money and power.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Go a little deeper on that one. We talked about
the money aspects of this. There were some individuals who
were working with Fauci who also seemed to have monetary
ties to desipere. Is that corrects. Has any of that
become more confirmed or panned out in ways that you're
comfortable talking about.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Yeah, there were some senior panel members with undisclosed conflicts
of interest with the manufacturers of m Josever. In fact,
we didn't even manufacture it here. The Chinese were making
it for a company in the United States. It's illogical.
(13:59):
You don't stop by treating inhospitalized patients. You don't stop
the hospitals from being overrun. You don't stop people from
infecting their entire families and increasing almost exponential infection cycle.
You do it by early treatment at home. We do
(14:20):
this with a lot of things.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
You have a.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Cold, you feel bad, You go see your doctor. He
gives you some medicines. You go home, you stay away
from other people for a couple of days. You take
the medicine, you feel better, You get better. This wasn't done.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
That's certainly a point that few are highlighting as they're
lauding doctor Fauci's legacy. Now on doctor Fauci's legacy, President
Joe Biden released a statement, and he called Fauci a
dedicated public servant and a steady hand with wisdom and insight,
adding that because of doctor Fauci's many contributions to public health,
(14:54):
lives in the US and around the world have been saved. Yet,
on the other side of the spectrum, you have of
critics like Peter Navarro, trade advisor to the President, who
worked with you to secure hydroxychloroquin to really accelerate our
initial response, and Navarro's on record saying Fauci was the
godfather of the virus, that is, he has the blood
(15:16):
of over four million people on his hands. How do
you explain such a schism between the left praising Fauci
as this savior to the world, and then you have
guys like yourself and others who have worked with Fauci
saying this Fauci has killed people.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Fauci was for gain of Doctor Fauci was for gain
of function experiments taking a pathogen making it more suitable
to infect man, and he supported this research. It was
in an indirectly funded through EcoHealth alliance to the Wuhan
(15:56):
laboratories involved. And the evidence is fairly overwhelming now that
it did come from a laboratory. The evidence for a
natural origin is zero.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
We discussed this, I think very early on in the pandemic.
I interviewed you in front of the White House, and
you were talking about the idea that some scientists early
on were immediately tossing out. The idea that this was
a man made virus was a little bit irregular. It
(16:30):
was a little bit on the irresponsible spectrum. On the
other hand, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
I was one of those scientists thinking that it was natural.
I thought it was natural. We had two other stars
viruses mers and SARS one, and we expected that nobody
knew they were playing around with us. When you really
it's taken me over a year to change sides, and
(17:00):
actually some new evidence that's come out makes it irrefutable
that this did come from a laboratory. So I was
one of the people blame nationally.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, no, that's right, And I think that I think
that your change of heart, especially looking at the evidence,
looking at the data, is going to be the subject
that I think lawmakers, especially a red wave Congress after
the midterms, are going to be citing. They're going to
look at the words of experts like yourself, and they'll say, look,
(17:32):
voices like Doctie Stephen Hatsville had changed, they had seen
the evidence, they changed their mind, and now they believe
that this is absolutely a man made virus. And doctor
Fauci has not seemed to have played a role in
concealing that fact. And I want to throw a sound
bite at you from doctor Fauci himself defending his record
(17:56):
and his early responses to this pandemic. Listen to this.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
The things that we thought we knew in the beginning
turned out as the months went by to not be
the case, which really forced us to adapt and to
change some of our policies and recommendations. That was interpreted
by many as flip flopping or not really knowing what's
going on, when it really was the evolution of the science.
(18:21):
So one of the lessons that I hope we learn
is that we've got to be prepared, we've got to
be able to respond, but we've also got to be flexible.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
How flexible was doctor Fauci in your experience, If.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Doctor Fauci in my experience, if doctor Fauci's lips are moving,
he's line. He was put into this position by the press,
who lauded him as a great infectious disease expert. He
was way over his head and his advisory role. He's
a regulator, he runs clinical trials. He was way over
his head. He was wrong about lockdowns, wrong about hydroxychloric on.
(19:02):
It was wrong about rem desavor. We spent one point
two billion dollars buying the dorug, having it made with
a few months later the who comes out and says
it's useless. It's not good for any phase of the
disease COVID nineteen. Everything this man has touched has been
a disaster.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Doctor Hatfeld. So the big question is going to quickly emerge,
is this are these moments in Fauci's handling of the
pandemic Are they the result of his incompetence, his lack
of understanding, or were there some other motives, like say,
you know, he was working with individuals who were financially motivated.
Or was he covering his bases, covering the fact that
(19:44):
he his organization, the NIH had in fact funded the
wuhan Land. Is he covering up? Is he incompetent? Is
he motivated by something other than those two items? Those
are questions. Is that it looks like the Republican Congress.
If the midterms do yield a red wave, we'll be
(20:07):
asking Fauci. Here's what Senator Ran Paul said. He said
following the news of Fauci's resignation. This would not prevent
a full throated investigation into doctor Fauci's conduct. So, doctor Hatfill,
my question to you is what kinds of questions would
you direct at doctor Fauci in the very first hearing.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
I have a list of one hundred and ten questions
ready to go. The answer to your saying all the above,
it was ego, It was incompetence to an extreme degree,
and he has a history of incompetence. But you're put
into this position. A normal individual would have brought in
the best and brightest they could find that were actual
(20:52):
experts in pandemic control. We had people that knew how
to get this under control and Fauji and doctor Burke's
what would not listen to any of it.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Doctor Hatful, thank you so much for your insight and your.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Your take my pleasure.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
After the break, our panel of experts join to discuss
the latest news of the week. We'll be right back.

launched a twenty four to seven Twitter like social media replacement.
We're calling it free Talk forty five. So why is
it branded free Talk forty five? Well, free talk because
you will not be censored for expressing your opinion there,

(23:20):
and kindly demand that they add OYNN to their channel lineup.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Welcome back to weekly Briefing. We're here with our panelists
and we'll dive right in. President Joe Biden announced his
administration is forgiving ten thousand dollars in debt for people
who earn less than one hundred and twenty five thousand
dollars per year. This includes forgiving twenty thousand dollars in
debt for pelgrant recipients. Press Secretary kriem John Pierre defended
(23:56):
her boss's plan.
Speaker 8 (23:58):
This is about doing something for people who make less
than one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars one point
seven trillion dollars. That's what we've been able to do.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
But when you forgive debt, you're not just disappearing debt.
So what is paying for what?
Speaker 8 (24:13):
And then I'll give you the second part. We lifted
the pause, right, We're going to lift the pause at
the end of this year, which is going to matter, right,
which is going to offset a lot of what we're
doing as well.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
All Right, to kick us off on this ball of wax,
we'll go to the chief economist at Liberty Works, Darren Nelson. Darren,
your take on the announcement this week, and also I
want your take on Larry Summers kicking back pushing back
on this. But first your reaction to the extension that
the Biden White House has proposed.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Well, look, I think the Babylon b said it best
last night and they had this story and they said,
you know, they talked about particularly the ten thousand dollars
forgiveness of debt, and they said, an unrelated news, tuitions
have all gone up by ten thousand dollars. You can't,
you know, the Biden administration certainly aren't the first ones
you think they can legislate away the laws of economics,
(25:11):
you cannot. So basically, when you subsidize something, it actually
doesn't get cheaper, it gets more expensive.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
So this is like a form of subsidy.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Right, And that was the core problem with this proposal.
There was no long term plan attached to it. There
was simply this short term band aid that really, at
the end of the day, appears to be a bribe
before the midterms.
Speaker 9 (25:34):
It didn't just appear that's exactly what it was. This
is no solution to the problem that this problem obviously
has been going on for a long time with the
you know, the rise of tuitions and the rise of
student debt. And again, these sort of policies are really,
at the end of the day, more sort of reverse
robinhood policies, you know, where they're they're robbing from the
poor to give to the rich, because they certainly aren't
(25:55):
going to help the people who've paid off their loans,
and they certainly don't help out people who aren't going
to colleges and universities. Who are you going to have
to pay through this one way or another?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
What's your take that? But even Obama's economist and actually
two of his top economists have actually criticized this plan.
They believe that this is going to aggravate inflation.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah, yeah, look it's not. It's exactly right, aggraviate inflation.
It's not inflation.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
Inflation is you know, printing a lot of money and
that a lot of that's just going to go flowing
elsewhere to other unproductive activities, like having more sort of
gender studies.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Majors Virginia Gentiles, Director of Education Freedom Center at the
Independent Women's Forum, you had something on the tip of
your mouth.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
Well, I like the reverse Robinhood expression, but I also
think we need to refer to this as welfare for
the wealthy woke only. That's a great that is probably
the best way for Well, my colleague at the Independent
Women's Forum came up with that, and we need to
keep in mind the only nineteen percent of Americans go
to graduate school. Less than forty percent attend college. I
(27:05):
think twenty percent of those graduate without any debt. The
people who are going to be receiving this benefit are
those graduate degree program individuals who can go on to
higher learning more so than the people who chose not
to go to college.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Nearly sixty percent of those who have taken out college
loans are the ones who have gotten the graduate degree programs.
And those are, like, as you say, less than twenty
percent of the American population.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
Right, And these are the people who go on to
become the managerial class. These are the ones who go
on to become college administrators. And look, now they have
this loan forgiveness that allows them to go to these
graduate programs, and then the colleges can then spend more
money and.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Hire more staff.
Speaker 10 (27:45):
And you know, really that all the DEI departments across
colleges and university should be thanking the Biden administration for this.
We shouldn't call it loan forgiveness for sure, because what
it is is a co coerced gift on the backs
of taxpayers who are being forced to give this money.
Ten thousand dollars twenty thousand dollars two individuals who ultimately
(28:08):
will have higher earning potential and are benefiting from these degrees.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Certainly not a lot of equality in this plan. Kentucky
Senator Ran Paul says doctor Anthony Fauci's departure will not
stop a quote full throated investigation into the origins of
the pandemic. Fauci announced he would be stepping down as
President Joe Biden's top medical advisor and the director of
the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in December.
(28:36):
Mary Margaret, as DC correspondent for Daily Wire, you have
covered not only the Supreme Court rulings, but you actually
have covered a lot doctor Fauci's tenure and role in
the pandemic. Your take on Fauci's way of exiting here.
Speaker 11 (28:54):
Well, I mean we remiss if we again did point
out that the midterms are coming up, and we're hearing
a lot of good things about how Republicans will be
doing in these midterm elections. In fact, we're hearing that
the Republicans are probably taking back both the House and
the Senate, and so Fauci even yesterday said he's not
worried about Republican investigations into his behavior.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
He said, come and look, come and see what I have.
And I believe it was.
Speaker 11 (29:18):
On I'm not sure what network it was, perhaps CNN,
he said, or it.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Was Fox News.
Speaker 11 (29:23):
He told Brett Baer that he's not afraid of any
Republican investigations into his business, and he said it didn't
have anything to do with the upcoming midterm elections.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Will be that as it may.
Speaker 11 (29:33):
Rampaul and a whole salu of other Republicans have promised
to look into his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, specifically
the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, since Fauci has denied
that the National Institute of Health funded gain a function.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Research, does anyone on this panel believe that Fauchi is
retiring just because it's his time and he's it's you
knows he needs to write into the sunset. Well, he
didn't have a totally different timeline proposed just a few
weeks ago, and then suddenly it's been accelerated, So obviously
there's a question here on the timing. And I'll look
(30:11):
at Mary Margaret's coverage of this going forward on exactly
what's going on.
Speaker 11 (30:14):
I mean, he did say that when Biden took office, Biden,
before he took office, supposedly asked Fauci to stay on,
and Fauci was supposedly thinking about leaving at the end
of the Trump administration, but he wanted to stay and
lend his talents to the Biden administration. And then on
Fox News the other day he said that he's really
excited to retire while he's still young and full passion
and vigor can give these things and help with young
(30:36):
scientists who are.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Trying to learn and explore.
Speaker 11 (30:38):
So I think he's right leaning on his youthful vigor
and he's hoping that he has more time to figure
things out after the end of his career in the
Biden administration, which you know, we also have to look
at the fact that the CDC just basically ended all
coronavirus requirements even though.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
You know they have no one seems to be taking
notice of that, right. The other fact that's fun when
you talk about Fauci is the fact that he's been
in governmnment for over five decades. This is a man
who has lived off the government dollar and has lived
quite well. Actually, he's one of the top paid government
bureaucrats in the country.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Yeah, I would say, yeah, but really the past two
years has he really been working for the government.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I thought he was working for Pfeiser actually the past
two years.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
So perhaps that's where he's gonna finally just officially work
for Pfiser after this, finally come clean.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Yes, yes, that's my impression.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
There's going to be a lot of discussion about how
this pandemic was handled, and the lauding of Fauci is
certainly going to be something that you will either have
been on the side that was praising him as Pope Fauci,
or you will be on the side he was saying
that he was more harmed, doing more harm than good.
Police are investigating a fake shooting report which led authorities
(31:56):
to the residence of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green early Wednesday morning.
Let's talk about the fact that I think some of
us had to look up the term swatting. What is swatting? Jinny,
talk to us about this incident and what sparked it.
Speaker 10 (32:14):
Well, I was very confused when I first saw this.
I thought swatting doesn't have something to do with the
car accident. But no, I guess some trans radical activists
called the police and gave a false report of crimes
going on in the congresswoman's home. That part was not
surprising at all. Trans radical activists are regularly using tactics
(32:39):
that involve violence, harassment, and threats, largely because they have
to coerce speech. They have to silence people who are
questioning their ideology because it crumbles when it's questioned.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
And to be clear again again, I had to look
up what swatting was. And swatting is where someone calls
the police reports a crime and it is it is
a crime that is reported that is so dramatic that
and a swat team shows up at your house. So
swap team came knocking at Congresswoman Green's house, right, And
(33:14):
it turns out it was basically a protest prank.
Speaker 11 (33:17):
Which is particularly disturbing in this political moment because you know,
we're hearing all this talk about threats of violence. Of course,
the authorities seemingly only care about threats of violence that
are stemming from people who are upset about the raid on.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Former President Donald Trump.
Speaker 11 (33:31):
But we also have these people, this alleged assassin who
showed up to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's house in
June amidst all these protests.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
So it's just it's.
Speaker 11 (33:42):
This kind of swatting, as the term is, is particularly
disturbing when we already have kind of a precedent of
authorities saying be aware.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Of threats of violence, be worried about it. And it's
certainly abuse of and this is I think this is
this is what's new protest in the form of abusing
our institutions. This is abusing our institutions and abusing public
safety in turn.
Speaker 10 (34:07):
Right, because the response that they would would give is that, well,
she offered this bill and it's terrible, and therefore we
must take action.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
We are justified in our.
Speaker 10 (34:21):
Actions, as outside the law or as extreme as they
might be. She's a congresswoman, She's absolutely entitled to introduce
a bill, and she should have introduced this bill.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
It's a valid one. And I've long said that these
operations we can't we have to call them mutilations. They
are mutilations, and we actually have a federal law against
genital mutilation. It is in the books in the state
Department makes no exceptions whether it's ideological radical Islam or
it's this ideology that we're having to now face that
Margie Taylor Green had to face and at her home
(34:52):
before a swat team. When we return our gasoline run
cars on life support, they might, hey, well, b We'll
be right back.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Hey everyone, here's a question for you. What does Roku TV,
Apple TV, and Amazon fireTV all have in common? The
answer is that all three platforms offer you the ability
to live stream One America News Network from your Roku TV,
Apple TV or Amazon Fire device. Simply go to the
app store, search out for an then enjoy all the
(35:36):
great programming offered by including my show Real America.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Listeners are always asking me how can they watch O
n N live. The solution is a simple streaming platform
called cloud tv spelled klowd TV. Simply go to cloudtv
dot com and subscribe to watch the twenty four seven
live feed of OAN. The live package is only two
(36:04):
dollars and fifty cents per month for all that you
can watch, go to cloudtv dot com today. That's cloudtv
dot com spelled with a K and W.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Hey did you know that One America News Network has
launched a twenty four to seven Twitter like social media replacement.
We're calling it free Talk forty five. So why is
it branded free Talk forty five. Well, free talk because
you will not be censored for expressing your opinion there,
and forty five because forty five is a really lucky number.
(36:39):
So join us at free Talk forty five and express
yourself with no fear of cancelation.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Ever, if your cable provider doesn't offer one American news network,
please call them up and kindly demand that they carry OANN.
You're the customer, and without your feedback, your cable provi
will not know that their strong demand for one American
news network.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Please call your cable.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Company today and kindly demand that they add OE and
N to their channel lineup.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Welcome back to weekly Briefing. California takes another step toward
achieving its ultimate goal of becoming a green new deal wasteland.
California has implemented a plan to prohibit the sale of
new gasoline powered cars by twenty thirty five. Jinny, your
take on what this will actually do to the people
(37:42):
of California and in turn America.
Speaker 10 (37:45):
Well, absolutely, this isn't just going to impact California consumers
and drivers. It will impact drivers around the country if
it's allowed to go into effect, and of course it's lunacy.
Only forty percent of drivers right now in California are
using electric vehicles fourteen percent to.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
A number of Americans who have graduate degrees.
Speaker 10 (38:07):
And so when you think about like getting that to
one hundred in a short period of time, of course
that's not possible. And it's it's it's forcing drivers to
do something that they and consumers to do something that
they don't want to do. In California is already really
struggling to meet the utility and electricity demands of their residence.
(38:29):
Just imagine what's going to happen to the grid if
all of those residents are plugging in their vehicles. It's
not like an electric vehicle needs nothing. You take away
gas and then it magically goes all by itself. It
has to be plugged into the grid that is already
struggling in California.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
This is this is not already hearing word that there's
going to potentially be rolling blackouts in the very near future.
We're already seeing this in Europe. We're seeing this in England.
They're warning consumers that the winter is going to be
very cold Darren for the economist on the panel, talk
to us about the consumer behavior here. Are consumers going
(39:08):
to push back here enough to stave this off?
Speaker 9 (39:12):
Well, yeah, that's a that's gonna be a harder question
to answer, and I'll try to I'll circle back to
circle back.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Sorry for using that.
Speaker 9 (39:19):
Term, but a thing just to piggyback off what was
just said is well, electric vehicles run off the electricity grid,
and what mainly powers the electricity grid in California, as
it does around the country is coal. So you know
this illusion that somehow this is greener or you're going
to have less.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
Carbon dix side.
Speaker 9 (39:39):
Actually most studies are coming out and showing actually it's
gonna be more carbon dox I. Putting aside whether you
think that actually causes climate change or not.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Say it ain't so, Darren, it is so are you
having Are you going to have to break this news to.
Speaker 9 (39:52):
Biden unless you're unless you have an ev in Quebec,
which is mainly hydro, it's gonna be coal and maybe
supplemented by and maybe even oddly supplemented by some oil,
which obviously is what makes gasolain.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
See there's a talking point. We do not hear the
Energy Secretary Jennifer Grenholme talk about at all when she's
telling everyday Americans to go and buy a sixty thousand
dollars electric vehicle.
Speaker 9 (40:16):
Yeah, and again, these electric vehicles are heavily subsidized, and
even more so is the renewable energy, which you contributes
next to no power whatsoever to the grid, yet contributes
a whole lot of problems for the engineers because I've
worked in this industry for decades.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
And also the costs.
Speaker 9 (40:34):
Like I said, when you subsidize something, the price may
look smaller at first, but the cost is actually larger.
So that's the gap that you get the subsidy, and
that just goes up and up and up and up,
and then then prices themselves eventually go up as well.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
An inherent symptom of this administration just seems to be
one that they don't seem to be looking forward too
much or thinking too much about what their actions are
actually going to do. And yet they have all these
grand plants of oh, twenty thirty five, twenty fifty, and
yet when it comes to the material execution of these plans,
they don't actually add up. A Texas Federal Court handed
(41:11):
the Biden administration a loss this past Wednesday on the
abortion front. The Federal court blocked the Biden administration's attempt
to coerce et our doctors from performing abortions when necessary.
Mary Margaret, this is your beat. Tell us the significance
of this ruling. Well, it's huge.
Speaker 11 (41:28):
I mean, the Biden administration is following the urgings of
Democratic lawmakers, activists, all these people that have been in
the streets protesting over abortion to do something. So Biden
administration tried to take executive action to force doctors to
perform abortions, and this Texas court said no, you can't
do that, and Roby Wade has overturned. Texas has multiple
(41:48):
laws and effects that are prohibiting different types of abortions
basically at any point, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxson
has been very firm and saying we will not allow
textan doctors to be to perform abortions. Now that Texas
Court ruling doesn't ban, doesn't block this Biden administration law
executive order nationwide, but it does open up the possibility
(42:10):
of other judges doing so.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
So it's a big deal. Darren, from an economists standpoint,
to put this in terms of consumers, if you were
to be a consumer of abortion services, isn't this just
going to be a situation overall big picture where if
women want abortions, they'll just go to states that allow
abortions like this. Isn't this isn't a situation that consumers
(42:34):
won't get around in the United States today.
Speaker 4 (42:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (42:37):
Look, I even though I'm an a commiss I don't
like to kind of think of, you know, abortions as
a service. I don't think of it as a legitimate
service at all, because, you know, economics is ultimately grounded
in if you like Christian and Judeo ethics, and it's
also grounded in ideas of liberty from our founding fathers,
and that's not a choice really or not toalking about
(43:00):
a tumor in a woman's body, we're talking about another
body inside.
Speaker 4 (43:04):
So I hate to kind of think of people getting.
Speaker 9 (43:07):
Abortions as consumers. You're right, they will go off to
other states. There very well could be some black markets.
I don't think, you know, because of the US has
fifty states, I think black markets aren't going to be
particularly large in this. I think people will just go
to an adjoining state, a lot of.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Fear mongering on the.
Speaker 9 (43:25):
No doubt there's going to be some of those sanctuary
cities as well, like Austin inside of Texas possibly as well.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Oh, those would be terrifying if they do pop up.
But Mary Margaret, what is your take on overall the
energy levels of this whole pro abortion movement right now?
You've embedded yourself actually in a lot of these protest groups.
Are they still as active as ever? We're watching some
midterm elections coming up. Democrats are banking on this issue.
(43:53):
They are banking on this issue to turn out the vote.
Is the energy level still high amongst the groups that
you have tracked? The energy level is still high.
Speaker 11 (44:02):
But what's interesting is a lot of these groups that
were so active at the protests in front of the
Supreme Court, or these protesters that are going to Supreme
Court Justice spread Kavanaugh's house and the other justices houses,
these groups are not that popular with the larger abortion
movement overall. I'm seeing some groups saying that rise up
for abortion rights, for example, which is the biggest group
(44:23):
that has been so active, They're not very popular with
the other ones because they're so extremists. In their language
and in their tactics and so oh wow, So there's fractionalization.
Speaker 12 (44:31):
There is a little bit interesting, But in general I
think that what we're hearing is a lot of different
small stories about Texas fifteen year old or I'm not
sure if it's Texas, but a fifteen year old who
couldn'tet an abortion when she was raped, and the media
and Democrats are elevating specific stories like this to.
Speaker 11 (44:47):
Kind of ramp up further ahead of the midterms.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
But on the other side, what we're seeing is pro life.
Speaker 11 (44:52):
Activists saying we want to help, we want to provide support,
we want to give mother's training, and we want to
give them resources to be able to provide for their kids.
From the Biden administration, we're seeing rhetoric like just today,
the White House Press Secretary said she described abortions as
life saving care for women. Well, they're leaning into this
rhetoric to kind of combat the pro life rhetoric saying, no,
(45:14):
abortions aren't life saving, we want to help the moms,
you don't need abortions, and.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
No, that's not right. Hijacking of language, like rhetorical hijacking,
like in every sense of the words, it'll be interesting
to watch and we'll see what happens. Florida Governor Ron
de Santis announced he has banned the state's pension funds
from considering so called ESG standards otherwise known as Environmental,
Social and Governance standards when making investments for retirees. The
(45:43):
resolution with direct fund managers to invest state cash in
a manner that prioritizes the highest ROI without giving attention
to ESG guidelines. Darren, can you boil us down into
normal people speak as far as why are ESG is
so concerning to you as an economist? And is DeSantis
(46:05):
making the most effective fight pushing back against it.
Speaker 4 (46:11):
I'll take the first one first, which is ESG.
Speaker 9 (46:16):
Like a lot of these types of new policy ideas,
these new regulations, their main purpose is the hidden purpose,
and the hidden purpose is to basically push out competition.
These things just you know, capitalize industries like big tech,
big pharma, all that they love these regulations. They like
them to seem as though they're in the public interest
(46:36):
or their virtue signaling in some way. But at the
end of the day, this is really about pushing out.
Speaker 1 (46:41):
Competition, and that hurts consumers because like a social credit
score for corporations basically, but on a climate change.
Speaker 9 (46:49):
Yeah, so they want, you know, performance based on who
has the best lobbyists in Washington, DC, as opposed to
who can actually serve the consumer at the lowest price,
which is.
Speaker 4 (46:59):
What a competitive market would do.
Speaker 9 (47:00):
So this is just another way of getting around the
competitive market and having more of a you know, this
is crony capitalism on steroids ultimately.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
So as Dessanta's fighting back in the most effective manner.
Speaker 9 (47:12):
Look, I don't know the details, but I do like
what I've heard so far. I think it's great because
you know, the US is founded on the idea of
competitive federalism, so you know, when the federal government shouldn't
be doing a lot of this stuff anyway, this should
not be their role in any way, but anyway it is.
And I like the fact that it states, you know,
like Florida are standing up to it and go like, look,
(47:33):
you know, we want to be a.
Speaker 4 (47:34):
Pro competitive business environment.
Speaker 9 (47:37):
I think that's the message I've gotten from DISSENTUS on
a number of issues. He's not looking to set up
his own version of my friends should get special benefits
in Florida. He's trying to just open things up to
competition and freedom.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
Panelists, We're all out of time a hearty discussion. As always,
thank you so much for joining us. When we return
the weekly lies from the Biden White House continue to
spend and we'll be right back with all of them shortly.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
Welcome back to Weekly Briefing and to sixteen hundred Pennsylvania's
reinvention of Pinocchio's nose. Because instead of a lying puppet
yearning to be real, we have a nursing home patient
whose nose only grows if he tells the truth. Well,
that's the rumor. Anyway, let's dive in big line number one,
Canceling student loan debt will not affect inflation.
Speaker 5 (50:48):
Independent experts agree that these actions, taken together, will provide
real benefits for families without meaningful effect on inflation.
Speaker 1 (50:57):
Clearly, his three week vacation wasn't long enough to break
bad habits. Lying about inflation is a clumsy ritual at
this point for Team Biden. Let's get this straight. Economic
experts on both sides of the aisle say Biden's decision
to forgive ten thousand dollars of student loan debts for
people who make less than one hundred and twenty five
(51:17):
thousand dollars a year will heighten inflationary pressures down the road.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget explained simply extending
the current repayment pause through the end of the year
would cost an extra twenty billion dollars, creating more inflationary
pressures in the process. Back in twenty twenty one, former
(51:40):
Obama economic advisor Larry Summers tweeted extending the current moratorium
on student loan payments would be quote highly problematic and
would quote contribute to inflation pressures and guess what. That's
exactly what the Biden administration will be doing. Pausing student
loan payments for four months adds insult to injury. The
(52:01):
plan will cost between three hundred and nine hundred and
eighty billion dollars over the next ten years, with the
majority of relief heading to borrowers in the top sixty
percent of earners. By the way that top sixty percent,
they go toward those who only have a graduate degree.
Only thirteen percent of America has graduate degrees. This according
(52:22):
to pen Wharton Real Equitable of You, Joe, So the
take that student debt payouts won't affect inflation.
Speaker 5 (52:30):
Is simply not true.
Speaker 1 (52:36):
Big line number two, Joe Biden had nothing to do
with the raid on mar Lago.
Speaker 8 (52:41):
No, the President was not brief was not aware of it.
Speaker 1 (52:45):
To say the White House had no idea any of
this was in the works against Trump is a slice
of nonsense no one believed to begin with. And while
Biden may not have known the date and time of
the raid, John Solomon, not just the New US, obtained
documents showing the Biden administration directly coordinated with both the
Department of Justice and National Archives by allowing them to
(53:09):
ignore former President Trump's claims to executive privilege. The documents
show then White House Deputy Council Jonathan Sue going back
and forth with the FBI, DOJ, and National Archives. As
early as April, Sue said Joe Biden himself would not
be opposed to waiving Trump's executive privilege, and in the
(53:29):
letter dated May tenth, Acting National Archivist Deborah stidle Wall
told Trump's own lawyers of the White House's involvement. Specifically,
the letter read, the Council to the President has informed
me that in light of the particular circumstances presented here,
President Biden defers to my determination in consultation with the
(53:49):
Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel, regarding
whether or not I should uphold the former President's purported
protective assertion of executive privilege. I have therefore decided not
to honor the former president's protective claim of privilege. Biden
gave the green light. If this reporting is accurate, and
(54:12):
we have no reason to believe it isn't, it reveals
the Biden administration directly gave the DOJ the go ahead
to facilitate a criminal investigation into Joe Biden's biggest political opponent.
So the claim the White House had nothing to do
with the mar A Lago raid.
Speaker 13 (54:32):
That's simply not true.
Speaker 1 (54:34):
In other news, Ford Motor Company announced it's preparing to
fire three thousand workers as part of its transition to
producing more electric vehicles. That's a very scary headline. Joining
to discuss is former White House senior policy analyst Joanna Miller. Joanna,
you worked directly with Trade Zar Peter Navarro. What is
(54:54):
happening here?
Speaker 13 (54:56):
So as daunting as this announcement may seem, a lot,
one of the jobs that Ford has been canceling have
been white collar jobs. Ford announced that with the net
amount of jobs in Michigan, they're actually adding more blue
collar jobs related to ev manufacturing so that they can
produce more all electric trucks. So, although this announcement is
(55:19):
a little bit daunting, most of the jobs that have
been canceled have been more so on the white collar side.
As we're shifting to the electric vehicle manufacturing, I just
want to note something too. Mostly car manufacturing and internal
combustion engine manufacturing, which relates to oil and gas powered vehicles,
(55:39):
takes place outside of the United States. However, companies nationwide,
especially following the China virus pandemic, have noticed that, Okay,
when we need equipment from abroad, we're not going to
be able to get it in times of emergency.
Speaker 1 (55:53):
So you have a.
Speaker 13 (55:55):
Really unique situation. As much as as we don't want
electric vehicles to the be all, end all and canceled
the oil industry, which I do not believe it will,
you have car charging stations, electric vehicle batteries, precursor and
material for these battery battery components all being made in
the United States.
Speaker 1 (56:14):
What's concerning about this is the white collar jobs are
the jobs that pay more. They are the jobs that
are less replaceable. When you look at blue collar jobs,
especially in the automotive industry, those are jobs that you
look you talk to futurists and they say that those
are jobs that are going to be replaced by robotics,
(56:35):
by machines very soon, much sooner than we would expect.
Speaker 13 (56:39):
Right, Yeah, And I just wanted to note that I
think that part of the shift. Even though we don't
love things like the Reconciliation Bill, the Inflation Reduction Act,
which honestly will not reduce inflation, you have new provisions
coming from both the left and the right. For example,
there's a provision in there giving tax credits to to
(57:00):
manufacture electric vehicle components and batteries and materials in the
United States. Those white collar jobs, I firmly believe they're
not just going to disappear. They're going to come back.
We're shifting to American manufacturing. As daunting as these bills are,
and I firmly believe they won't help the country overall,
there are certain provisions that will be beneficial to American manufacturers.
(57:22):
So I believe that this is more so a shift
in priorities, and I don't believe that the electric vehicle
industry will outnumber the oil and gas industry. I believe
they're going to be synonymous and they're going to help
our country for the long term. But I think that
these jobs aren't actually going to disappear. We're just noticing
a shift in priorities and also a shift back to
American manufacturing.
Speaker 1 (57:44):
No, that's a great point, Joanna, thank you for bringing
it up. I think that another concern that we have
too is this idea that the Biden administration has picked
out a department for itself and as claims that it
is promoting America American manufact Talk to us about that
office and what they've done in the last few months.
(58:05):
Are they keeping up with their promise to bring more
manufacturing back to the United States.
Speaker 13 (58:11):
Yeah, this is something I know. We've talked about a ton,
and we both know that that Biden has stripped tariffs
off of solar panels so that the Chinese can still
supply Chinese components for these for these you know, solar panels,
and they have all these green energy dreams. The only
good thing that's coming out of that is amidst these
green energy dream that the Biden administration has, it's actually
(58:35):
strengthening American manufacturing within that sort of sphere, within under
other specter, uh, other aspects of our economy. I just
think that, you know, they they're completely betraying American manufacturing jobs.
With our oil industry. We should be not canceling pipeline jobs.
We should be keeping those. But the only good thing
(58:56):
that's come out of Biden's green energy fantasies have been
stronger provisions to manufacture in the USA. So we know
that tariffs have been taken off, we know that jobs
have been canceled on the Keystone Pipeline, which I think
is terrible for this country. However, the only good thing
about this is that they actually are passing some sort
of provisions to make sure that our batteries, our battery
(59:21):
components are being made in the USA and giving tax
incentives for that to end up benefiting manufacturing jobs in
those spheres.
Speaker 1 (59:30):
So thank you Johanna for clarifying all that. Always good
to have a silver lining. And that's all the time
we have. Remember to watch Weekly Briefing every Saturday and
Sunday at two pm Eastern, or you can catch the

I'm Chanel Rhon. Thank you for watching. Until next time.
Welcome to weekly briefing. I'm Chanel run. Everything's stalled out.
Russia's stuck in the embarrassment of a Ukraine quagmire. They
could have taken Ukraine inside of three weeks, but didn't.
They're holding back. Why China's too scared to invade Taiwan.
They're holding back. Why the FBI should have been able
(00:35):
to devour mar Lago and Trump once and for all.
The FBI has never launched a full scale raid without
an arrest. Two weeks out, They've got nothing. They're holding back.
Why the reason Russia, China and the Democrats DJ are
all holding back is because they don't know what Trump
(00:57):
is going to do with them in twenty twenty five.
The greatest advantage the entire world has against evil actors
right now is that Donald Trump remains more powerful as
a sitting candidate for president than anyone in four generations.
The threat of Trump's return is doing more right now
(01:18):
to restore the balance of power on the national and
international stage than anything the insulting, high heel limping men
in dresses in Biden's cabinet could possibly do. While Biden
went hat in hand begging the Saudis for oil. Trump
began to export more oil than we imported for the
first time in seventy years, showing them who the real
(01:42):
boss was. Where was Biden's ceremonial sword dance. Here's Trump
being showered with Saudi Arabia's finest cultural displays. This was
the Saudi's acknowledging the first real power they've seen since
General Eisenhower. In case you need reminding, the weight of
what I just said is in the fact that Saudi
(02:02):
Arabian tribes would still be living in tents were it
not for the American Eisenhower generation. The Saudis don't roll
out the red carpet for puppets like Biden. They just
expect Biden types to kiss their feet. Remember when Trump
pushed his way to the front and that swarm of
NATO leaders. He'd have been justified if this was ego driven,
but it wasn't. Trump was pushing his way to the
(02:23):
front for America. He was and is a man who
can't stand for America to be last on anything, and
the world knew it. He didn't have to prove that
he owned his own seven forty seven. He didn't have
to prove he owned his own golf course in Scotland
or ninety story buildings in Manhattan and Chicago. He didn't
have to prove any of this. After all, most of
(02:46):
these bureaucratic native leaders still have car payments in their
respective countries. Trump didn't have to be there for any
of it. Trump was there for one reason, to put
America first, and he did. But let's bring it home
to the national landscape. What is the DOJ and the
FBI even doing right now? Do they even know? When
(03:10):
Judge Reinhardt asked the DOJ to redact the affidavit sparking
the raid on mar A Lago, the Department of Justice
told the judge they just didn't have the time or
manpower to do it. Translation, sorry, Judge, we don't have
a case. Please understand. The FBI reached out to President
Donald Trump, with President Biden's green light, asked Trump for
(03:33):
all documents he had from the White House. President Trump
obliged and gave everything he had. The FBI took all
he had, locked it away with their own lock and
key at mar A Lago, only to return in a
nine hour, thirty man raid to break into their own
vault and claim Trump was stealing classified government secrets. Could
(03:55):
there be anything more embarrassing than this charade? Nowell, the
best they can do is leak like the bedwetters. They
are that there were seven hundred pages of classified documents
hidden away by Trump himself, all of it moot under
the Presidential Records Act. So who's the useful idiot leading
this blink check looting of mar A Lago. Take a
(04:20):
good look Alan Koehler, FBI assistant director, who coordinated the
mar A Lago raid at the behest of a DNC
donor at the FBI, and having clearly gone too far
on all this, even the judge on the case is
pushing back, urging more transparency. The dj doesn't want this.
(04:41):
They went too far and now they're petrified. But this
is the least of their worries. Here's why Donald Trump
can sue every single FBI agent who stepped foot on
mar A Lago personally, and right now every lawyer on
Trump's payroll should be executing a lawsuit against every agent
(05:03):
who stepped foot on Trump's personal property, including little mister
Allan Kohler. Here's how the legal precedent to sue the
FBI agents and officials individually is in a nineteen seventy
one Supreme Court case called Bivens versus six unknown named agents.
(05:24):
Bivens allows Trump to sue the FBI agents one miserable agent, director,
assistant director, and waterboy at a time. And by the way,
want to guess why these FBI leaders don't want an
unredacted affidavit out there for all to see. It's because
(05:45):
they sought a general warrant to grab anything they had
to lie and omit to the judge and the hot
light of day quivers on the horizon, blank check police day.
General warrants are absolutely forbidden under US law. If you
need that reminder, FBI, and I want you to listen
(06:07):
to me right now. The Fourth Amendment was written to
counter what you did at mar A Lago to Trump.
The much hated general warrant used and abused by the
rotten British Crown was one of the sparks that set
off our independence from a corrupted, elitist, debt strapped empire.
(06:29):
It's our understanding Donald Trump is spending four million dollars
a week on legal fees as of today. Imagine him
leveraging those four million dollars a week against individual agents
of the FBI that can happen starting today. Watch the
dominoes fall. Joining us after the break is a man
(06:55):
who worked closely with doctor Anthony Fauci all throughout the
twenty twenty COVID outbreak. In Fauci's case, the dombros won't
just be falling, They'll be crashing down upon him like
an avalanche when we return.
Speaker 2 (07:18):

one American news network. Please call your cable company today
(09:13):
and kindly demand that they add OYNN to their channel lineup.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Welcome back to weekly Briefing. This week, doctor Anthony Fauci
announced he would be stepping down from his positions as
director of NIAID, as chief of the NIAD Laboratory of
Amino Regulation, and as Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden.
The eighty one year old is set to leave government
service this December, joining to discuss is a man who
(09:50):
worked with doctor Fauci throughout the height of COVID nineteen
and twenty twenty. An American physician, pathologist, and biological weapons expert,
doctor Stephen Full Doctor Legacy. Media is lauding Dr Fauci's
legacy and his imprint on the outcome of the pandemic
and his handling of the entire thing. You have a
(10:12):
very different opinion, don't you.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Indeed, doctor Fauci's handling of the pandemic was a disaster
and has contributed to thousands and thousands of American deaths.
His failures are legendary. From day one, Virtually every he
(10:39):
ignored the national pandemic plan to start with talk down
outpatient early outpatient treatments, wouldn't even look at the data,
and instead favored a inpatient hospital treatment called rem disappear,
which the early Chinese studies showed was high toxic, and
(11:03):
ordered one point two billion dollars of this before the
second drug trial was done.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You worked very closely with the trade advisor Peter Navarro
and you. Initially in the early days of the pandemic,
you were looking into hydroxychloroquin You were looking at the
studies that hydroxychloroquine was quite effective when applied to patients
with COVID nineteen at a very early stage. Yet you
had a lot of pushback out of Fauci's office when
(11:30):
it came to any kind of discussion outside of Remdeza.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Fhere is that right, Yes, Peter would have a meeting
with him. Fauci would dismiss this as antidotal information because
it wasn't a randomized, controlled clinical trial. The data was
coming in. There were twenty four papers from China at
the time, and four or five very good observational studies
(11:58):
in France and and the United States showing that there
was an overwhelming benefit here. Pete Navarro had a big
fight with Fauci in the situation room over this, and
we had prepared some documents for him. Peter gave him
(12:18):
to Fauci and he just dismissed it. These are not
the actions of a man who's there to help the
president make informed decisions.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
We've asked this question of you before, and it's been
probably now about a year since we've talked about this,
But why was Fauci so adamantly opposed to these other solutions,
other options? It seems like someone in the medical profession,
someone in the scientific world would be open to all
(12:52):
possible and likely solutions to something that was so unfamiliar
to everybody. Why was he so certain shut these other
options down?
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Well, you're quite right. You would think that the senior
advisor for the pandemic would be looking for any answer.
The only thing I can come up with to explain
this is money and power.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Go a little deeper on that one. We talked about
the money aspects of this. There were some individuals who
were working with Fauci who also seemed to have monetary
ties to desipere. Is that corrects. Has any of that
become more confirmed or panned out in ways that you're
comfortable talking about.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Yeah, there were some senior panel members with undisclosed conflicts
of interest with the manufacturers of m Josever. In fact,
we didn't even manufacture it here. The Chinese were making
it for a company in the United States. It's illogical.
(13:59):
You don't stop by treating inhospitalized patients. You don't stop
the hospitals from being overrun. You don't stop people from
infecting their entire families and increasing almost exponential infection cycle.
You do it by early treatment at home. We do
(14:20):
this with a lot of things.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
You have a.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Cold, you feel bad, You go see your doctor. He
gives you some medicines. You go home, you stay away
from other people for a couple of days. You take
the medicine, you feel better, You get better. This wasn't done.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
That's certainly a point that few are highlighting as they're
lauding doctor Fauci's legacy. Now on doctor Fauci's legacy, President
Joe Biden released a statement, and he called Fauci a
dedicated public servant and a steady hand with wisdom and insight,
adding that because of doctor Fauci's many contributions to public health,
(14:54):
lives in the US and around the world have been saved. Yet,
on the other side of the spectrum, you have of
critics like Peter Navarro, trade advisor to the President, who
worked with you to secure hydroxychloroquin to really accelerate our
initial response, and Navarro's on record saying Fauci was the
godfather of the virus, that is, he has the blood
(15:16):
of over four million people on his hands. How do
you explain such a schism between the left praising Fauci
as this savior to the world, and then you have
guys like yourself and others who have worked with Fauci
saying this Fauci has killed people.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Fauci was for gain of Doctor Fauci was for gain
of function experiments taking a pathogen making it more suitable
to infect man, and he supported this research. It was
in an indirectly funded through EcoHealth alliance to the Wuhan
(15:56):
laboratories involved. And the evidence is fairly overwhelming now that
it did come from a laboratory. The evidence for a
natural origin is zero.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
We discussed this, I think very early on in the pandemic.
I interviewed you in front of the White House, and
you were talking about the idea that some scientists early
on were immediately tossing out. The idea that this was
a man made virus was a little bit irregular. It
(16:30):
was a little bit on the irresponsible spectrum. On the
other hand, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
I was one of those scientists thinking that it was natural.
I thought it was natural. We had two other stars
viruses mers and SARS one, and we expected that nobody
knew they were playing around with us. When you really
it's taken me over a year to change sides, and
(17:00):
actually some new evidence that's come out makes it irrefutable
that this did come from a laboratory. So I was
one of the people blame nationally.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, no, that's right, And I think that I think
that your change of heart, especially looking at the evidence,
looking at the data, is going to be the subject
that I think lawmakers, especially a red wave Congress after
the midterms, are going to be citing. They're going to
look at the words of experts like yourself, and they'll say, look,
(17:32):
voices like Doctie Stephen Hatsville had changed, they had seen
the evidence, they changed their mind, and now they believe
that this is absolutely a man made virus. And doctor
Fauci has not seemed to have played a role in
concealing that fact. And I want to throw a sound
bite at you from doctor Fauci himself defending his record
(17:56):
and his early responses to this pandemic. Listen to this.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
The things that we thought we knew in the beginning
turned out as the months went by to not be
the case, which really forced us to adapt and to
change some of our policies and recommendations. That was interpreted
by many as flip flopping or not really knowing what's
going on, when it really was the evolution of the science.
(18:21):
So one of the lessons that I hope we learn
is that we've got to be prepared, we've got to
be able to respond, but we've also got to be flexible.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
How flexible was doctor Fauci in your experience, If.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Doctor Fauci in my experience, if doctor Fauci's lips are moving,
he's line. He was put into this position by the press,
who lauded him as a great infectious disease expert. He
was way over his head and his advisory role. He's
a regulator, he runs clinical trials. He was way over
his head. He was wrong about lockdowns, wrong about hydroxychloric on.
(19:02):
It was wrong about rem desavor. We spent one point
two billion dollars buying the dorug, having it made with
a few months later the who comes out and says
it's useless. It's not good for any phase of the
disease COVID nineteen. Everything this man has touched has been
a disaster.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Doctor Hatfeld. So the big question is going to quickly emerge,
is this are these moments in Fauci's handling of the
pandemic Are they the result of his incompetence, his lack
of understanding, or were there some other motives, like say,
you know, he was working with individuals who were financially motivated.
Or was he covering his bases, covering the fact that
(19:44):
he his organization, the NIH had in fact funded the
wuhan Land. Is he covering up? Is he incompetent? Is
he motivated by something other than those two items? Those
are questions. Is that it looks like the Republican Congress.
If the midterms do yield a red wave, we'll be
(20:07):
asking Fauci. Here's what Senator Ran Paul said. He said
following the news of Fauci's resignation. This would not prevent
a full throated investigation into doctor Fauci's conduct. So, doctor Hatfill,
my question to you is what kinds of questions would
you direct at doctor Fauci in the very first hearing.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
I have a list of one hundred and ten questions
ready to go. The answer to your saying all the above,
it was ego, It was incompetence to an extreme degree,
and he has a history of incompetence. But you're put
into this position. A normal individual would have brought in
the best and brightest they could find that were actual
(20:52):
experts in pandemic control. We had people that knew how
to get this under control and Fauji and doctor Burke's
what would not listen to any of it.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Doctor Hatful, thank you so much for your insight and your.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Your take my pleasure.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
After the break, our panel of experts join to discuss
the latest news of the week. We'll be right back.

(23:20):
and kindly demand that they add OYNN to their channel lineup.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Welcome back to weekly Briefing. We're here with our panelists
and we'll dive right in. President Joe Biden announced his
administration is forgiving ten thousand dollars in debt for people
who earn less than one hundred and twenty five thousand
dollars per year. This includes forgiving twenty thousand dollars in
debt for pelgrant recipients. Press Secretary kriem John Pierre defended
(23:56):
her boss's plan.
Speaker 8 (23:58):
This is about doing something for people who make less
than one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars one point
seven trillion dollars. That's what we've been able to do.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
But when you forgive debt, you're not just disappearing debt.
So what is paying for what?
Speaker 8 (24:13):
And then I'll give you the second part. We lifted
the pause, right, We're going to lift the pause at
the end of this year, which is going to matter, right,
which is going to offset a lot of what we're
doing as well.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
All Right, to kick us off on this ball of wax,
we'll go to the chief economist at Liberty Works, Darren Nelson. Darren,
your take on the announcement this week, and also I
want your take on Larry Summers kicking back pushing back
on this. But first your reaction to the extension that
the Biden White House has proposed.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Well, look, I think the Babylon b said it best
last night and they had this story and they said,
you know, they talked about particularly the ten thousand dollars
forgiveness of debt, and they said, an unrelated news, tuitions
have all gone up by ten thousand dollars. You can't,
you know, the Biden administration certainly aren't the first ones
you think they can legislate away the laws of economics,
(25:11):
you cannot. So basically, when you subsidize something, it actually
doesn't get cheaper, it gets more expensive.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
So this is like a form of subsidy.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Right, And that was the core problem with this proposal.
There was no long term plan attached to it. There
was simply this short term band aid that really, at
the end of the day, appears to be a bribe
before the midterms.
Speaker 9 (25:34):
It didn't just appear that's exactly what it was. This
is no solution to the problem that this problem obviously
has been going on for a long time with the
you know, the rise of tuitions and the rise of
student debt. And again, these sort of policies are really,
at the end of the day, more sort of reverse
robinhood policies, you know, where they're they're robbing from the
poor to give to the rich, because they certainly aren't
(25:55):
going to help the people who've paid off their loans,
and they certainly don't help out people who aren't going
to colleges and universities. Who are you going to have
to pay through this one way or another?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
What's your take that? But even Obama's economist and actually
two of his top economists have actually criticized this plan.
They believe that this is going to aggravate inflation.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah, yeah, look it's not. It's exactly right, aggraviate inflation.
It's not inflation.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
Inflation is you know, printing a lot of money and
that a lot of that's just going to go flowing
elsewhere to other unproductive activities, like having more sort of
gender studies.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Majors Virginia Gentiles, Director of Education Freedom Center at the
Independent Women's Forum, you had something on the tip of
your mouth.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
Well, I like the reverse Robinhood expression, but I also
think we need to refer to this as welfare for
the wealthy woke only. That's a great that is probably
the best way for Well, my colleague at the Independent
Women's Forum came up with that, and we need to
keep in mind the only nineteen percent of Americans go
to graduate school. Less than forty percent attend college. I
(27:05):
think twenty percent of those graduate without any debt. The
people who are going to be receiving this benefit are
those graduate degree program individuals who can go on to
higher learning more so than the people who chose not
to go to college.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Nearly sixty percent of those who have taken out college
loans are the ones who have gotten the graduate degree programs.
And those are, like, as you say, less than twenty
percent of the American population.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
Right, And these are the people who go on to
become the managerial class. These are the ones who go
on to become college administrators. And look, now they have
this loan forgiveness that allows them to go to these
graduate programs, and then the colleges can then spend more
money and.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Hire more staff.
Speaker 10 (27:45):
And you know, really that all the DEI departments across
colleges and university should be thanking the Biden administration for this.
We shouldn't call it loan forgiveness for sure, because what
it is is a co coerced gift on the backs
of taxpayers who are being forced to give this money.
Ten thousand dollars twenty thousand dollars two individuals who ultimately
(28:08):
will have higher earning potential and are benefiting from these degrees.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Certainly not a lot of equality in this plan. Kentucky
Senator Ran Paul says doctor Anthony Fauci's departure will not
stop a quote full throated investigation into the origins of
the pandemic. Fauci announced he would be stepping down as
President Joe Biden's top medical advisor and the director of
the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in December.
(28:36):
Mary Margaret, as DC correspondent for Daily Wire, you have
covered not only the Supreme Court rulings, but you actually
have covered a lot doctor Fauci's tenure and role in
the pandemic. Your take on Fauci's way of exiting here.
Speaker 11 (28:54):
Well, I mean we remiss if we again did point
out that the midterms are coming up, and we're hearing
a lot of good things about how Republicans will be
doing in these midterm elections. In fact, we're hearing that
the Republicans are probably taking back both the House and
the Senate, and so Fauci even yesterday said he's not
worried about Republican investigations into his behavior.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
He said, come and look, come and see what I have.
And I believe it was.
Speaker 11 (29:18):
On I'm not sure what network it was, perhaps CNN,
he said, or it.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Was Fox News.
Speaker 11 (29:23):
He told Brett Baer that he's not afraid of any
Republican investigations into his business, and he said it didn't
have anything to do with the upcoming midterm elections.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Will be that as it may.
Speaker 11 (29:33):
Rampaul and a whole salu of other Republicans have promised
to look into his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, specifically
the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, since Fauci has denied
that the National Institute of Health funded gain a function.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Research, does anyone on this panel believe that Fauchi is
retiring just because it's his time and he's it's you
knows he needs to write into the sunset. Well, he
didn't have a totally different timeline proposed just a few
weeks ago, and then suddenly it's been accelerated, So obviously
there's a question here on the timing. And I'll look
(30:11):
at Mary Margaret's coverage of this going forward on exactly
what's going on.
Speaker 11 (30:14):
I mean, he did say that when Biden took office, Biden,
before he took office, supposedly asked Fauci to stay on,
and Fauci was supposedly thinking about leaving at the end
of the Trump administration, but he wanted to stay and
lend his talents to the Biden administration. And then on
Fox News the other day he said that he's really
excited to retire while he's still young and full passion
and vigor can give these things and help with young
(30:36):
scientists who are.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Trying to learn and explore.
Speaker 11 (30:38):
So I think he's right leaning on his youthful vigor
and he's hoping that he has more time to figure
things out after the end of his career in the
Biden administration, which you know, we also have to look
at the fact that the CDC just basically ended all
coronavirus requirements even though.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
You know they have no one seems to be taking
notice of that, right. The other fact that's fun when
you talk about Fauci is the fact that he's been
in governmnment for over five decades. This is a man
who has lived off the government dollar and has lived
quite well. Actually, he's one of the top paid government
bureaucrats in the country.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Yeah, I would say, yeah, but really the past two
years has he really been working for the government.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I thought he was working for Pfeiser actually the past
two years.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
So perhaps that's where he's gonna finally just officially work
for Pfiser after this, finally come clean.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Yes, yes, that's my impression.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
There's going to be a lot of discussion about how
this pandemic was handled, and the lauding of Fauci is
certainly going to be something that you will either have
been on the side that was praising him as Pope Fauci,
or you will be on the side he was saying
that he was more harmed, doing more harm than good.
Police are investigating a fake shooting report which led authorities
(31:56):
to the residence of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green early Wednesday morning.
Let's talk about the fact that I think some of
us had to look up the term swatting. What is swatting? Jinny,
talk to us about this incident and what sparked it.
Speaker 10 (32:14):
Well, I was very confused when I first saw this.
I thought swatting doesn't have something to do with the
car accident. But no, I guess some trans radical activists
called the police and gave a false report of crimes
going on in the congresswoman's home. That part was not
surprising at all. Trans radical activists are regularly using tactics
(32:39):
that involve violence, harassment, and threats, largely because they have
to coerce speech. They have to silence people who are
questioning their ideology because it crumbles when it's questioned.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
And to be clear again again, I had to look
up what swatting was. And swatting is where someone calls
the police reports a crime and it is it is
a crime that is reported that is so dramatic that
and a swat team shows up at your house. So
swap team came knocking at Congresswoman Green's house, right, And
(33:14):
it turns out it was basically a protest prank.
Speaker 11 (33:17):
Which is particularly disturbing in this political moment because you know,
we're hearing all this talk about threats of violence. Of course,
the authorities seemingly only care about threats of violence that
are stemming from people who are upset about the raid on.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Former President Donald Trump.
Speaker 11 (33:31):
But we also have these people, this alleged assassin who
showed up to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's house in
June amidst all these protests.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
So it's just it's.
Speaker 11 (33:42):
This kind of swatting, as the term is, is particularly
disturbing when we already have kind of a precedent of
authorities saying be aware.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Of threats of violence, be worried about it. And it's
certainly abuse of and this is I think this is
this is what's new protest in the form of abusing
our institutions. This is abusing our institutions and abusing public
safety in turn.
Speaker 10 (34:07):
Right, because the response that they would would give is that, well,
she offered this bill and it's terrible, and therefore we
must take action.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
We are justified in our.
Speaker 10 (34:21):
Actions, as outside the law or as extreme as they
might be. She's a congresswoman, She's absolutely entitled to introduce
a bill, and she should have introduced this bill.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
It's a valid one. And I've long said that these
operations we can't we have to call them mutilations. They
are mutilations, and we actually have a federal law against
genital mutilation. It is in the books in the state
Department makes no exceptions whether it's ideological radical Islam or
it's this ideology that we're having to now face that
Margie Taylor Green had to face and at her home
(34:52):
before a swat team. When we return our gasoline run
cars on life support, they might, hey, well, b We'll
be right back.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Hey everyone, here's a question for you. What does Roku TV,
Apple TV, and Amazon fireTV all have in common? The
answer is that all three platforms offer you the ability
to live stream One America News Network from your Roku TV,
Apple TV or Amazon Fire device. Simply go to the
app store, search out for an then enjoy all the
(35:36):
great programming offered by including my show Real America.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Listeners are always asking me how can they watch O
n N live. The solution is a simple streaming platform
called cloud tv spelled klowd TV. Simply go to cloudtv
dot com and subscribe to watch the twenty four seven
live feed of OAN. The live package is only two
(36:04):
dollars and fifty cents per month for all that you
can watch, go to cloudtv dot com today. That's cloudtv
dot com spelled with a K and W.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Hey did you know that One America News Network has
launched a twenty four to seven Twitter like social media replacement.
We're calling it free Talk forty five. So why is
it branded free Talk forty five. Well, free talk because
you will not be censored for expressing your opinion there,
and forty five because forty five is a really lucky number.
(36:39):
So join us at free Talk forty five and express
yourself with no fear of cancelation.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Ever, if your cable provider doesn't offer one American news network,
please call them up and kindly demand that they carry OANN.
You're the customer, and without your feedback, your cable provi
will not know that their strong demand for one American
news network.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Please call your cable.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Company today and kindly demand that they add OE and
N to their channel lineup.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Welcome back to weekly Briefing. California takes another step toward
achieving its ultimate goal of becoming a green new deal wasteland.
California has implemented a plan to prohibit the sale of
new gasoline powered cars by twenty thirty five. Jinny, your
take on what this will actually do to the people
(37:42):
of California and in turn America.
Speaker 10 (37:45):
Well, absolutely, this isn't just going to impact California consumers
and drivers. It will impact drivers around the country if
it's allowed to go into effect, and of course it's lunacy.
Only forty percent of drivers right now in California are
using electric vehicles fourteen percent to.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
A number of Americans who have graduate degrees.
Speaker 10 (38:07):
And so when you think about like getting that to
one hundred in a short period of time, of course
that's not possible. And it's it's it's forcing drivers to
do something that they and consumers to do something that
they don't want to do. In California is already really
struggling to meet the utility and electricity demands of their residence.
(38:29):
Just imagine what's going to happen to the grid if
all of those residents are plugging in their vehicles. It's
not like an electric vehicle needs nothing. You take away
gas and then it magically goes all by itself. It
has to be plugged into the grid that is already
struggling in California.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
This is this is not already hearing word that there's
going to potentially be rolling blackouts in the very near future.
We're already seeing this in Europe. We're seeing this in England.
They're warning consumers that the winter is going to be
very cold Darren for the economist on the panel, talk
to us about the consumer behavior here. Are consumers going
(39:08):
to push back here enough to stave this off?
Speaker 9 (39:12):
Well, yeah, that's a that's gonna be a harder question
to answer, and I'll try to I'll circle back to
circle back.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Sorry for using that.
Speaker 9 (39:19):
Term, but a thing just to piggyback off what was
just said is well, electric vehicles run off the electricity grid,
and what mainly powers the electricity grid in California, as
it does around the country is coal. So you know
this illusion that somehow this is greener or you're going
to have less.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
Carbon dix side.
Speaker 9 (39:39):
Actually most studies are coming out and showing actually it's
gonna be more carbon dox I. Putting aside whether you
think that actually causes climate change or not.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Say it ain't so, Darren, it is so are you
having Are you going to have to break this news to.
Speaker 9 (39:52):
Biden unless you're unless you have an ev in Quebec,
which is mainly hydro, it's gonna be coal and maybe
supplemented by and maybe even oddly supplemented by some oil,
which obviously is what makes gasolain.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
See there's a talking point. We do not hear the
Energy Secretary Jennifer Grenholme talk about at all when she's
telling everyday Americans to go and buy a sixty thousand
dollars electric vehicle.
Speaker 9 (40:16):
Yeah, and again, these electric vehicles are heavily subsidized, and
even more so is the renewable energy, which you contributes
next to no power whatsoever to the grid, yet contributes
a whole lot of problems for the engineers because I've
worked in this industry for decades.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
And also the costs.
Speaker 9 (40:34):
Like I said, when you subsidize something, the price may
look smaller at first, but the cost is actually larger.
So that's the gap that you get the subsidy, and
that just goes up and up and up and up,
and then then prices themselves eventually go up as well.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
An inherent symptom of this administration just seems to be
one that they don't seem to be looking forward too
much or thinking too much about what their actions are
actually going to do. And yet they have all these
grand plants of oh, twenty thirty five, twenty fifty, and
yet when it comes to the material execution of these plans,
they don't actually add up. A Texas Federal Court handed
(41:11):
the Biden administration a loss this past Wednesday on the
abortion front. The Federal court blocked the Biden administration's attempt
to coerce et our doctors from performing abortions when necessary.
Mary Margaret, this is your beat. Tell us the significance
of this ruling. Well, it's huge.
Speaker 11 (41:28):
I mean, the Biden administration is following the urgings of
Democratic lawmakers, activists, all these people that have been in
the streets protesting over abortion to do something. So Biden
administration tried to take executive action to force doctors to
perform abortions, and this Texas court said no, you can't
do that, and Roby Wade has overturned. Texas has multiple
(41:48):
laws and effects that are prohibiting different types of abortions
basically at any point, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxson
has been very firm and saying we will not allow
textan doctors to be to perform abortions. Now that Texas
Court ruling doesn't ban, doesn't block this Biden administration law
executive order nationwide, but it does open up the possibility
(42:10):
of other judges doing so.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
So it's a big deal. Darren, from an economists standpoint,
to put this in terms of consumers, if you were
to be a consumer of abortion services, isn't this just
going to be a situation overall big picture where if
women want abortions, they'll just go to states that allow
abortions like this. Isn't this isn't a situation that consumers
(42:34):
won't get around in the United States today.
Speaker 4 (42:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (42:37):
Look, I even though I'm an a commiss I don't
like to kind of think of, you know, abortions as
a service. I don't think of it as a legitimate
service at all, because, you know, economics is ultimately grounded
in if you like Christian and Judeo ethics, and it's
also grounded in ideas of liberty from our founding fathers,
and that's not a choice really or not toalking about
(43:00):
a tumor in a woman's body, we're talking about another
body inside.
Speaker 4 (43:04):
So I hate to kind of think of people getting.
Speaker 9 (43:07):
Abortions as consumers. You're right, they will go off to
other states. There very well could be some black markets.
I don't think, you know, because of the US has
fifty states, I think black markets aren't going to be
particularly large in this. I think people will just go
to an adjoining state, a lot of.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Fear mongering on the.
Speaker 9 (43:25):
No doubt there's going to be some of those sanctuary
cities as well, like Austin inside of Texas possibly as well.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Oh, those would be terrifying if they do pop up.
But Mary Margaret, what is your take on overall the
energy levels of this whole pro abortion movement right now?
You've embedded yourself actually in a lot of these protest groups.
Are they still as active as ever? We're watching some
midterm elections coming up. Democrats are banking on this issue.
(43:53):
They are banking on this issue to turn out the vote.
Is the energy level still high amongst the groups that
you have tracked? The energy level is still high.
Speaker 11 (44:02):
But what's interesting is a lot of these groups that
were so active at the protests in front of the
Supreme Court, or these protesters that are going to Supreme
Court Justice spread Kavanaugh's house and the other justices houses,
these groups are not that popular with the larger abortion
movement overall. I'm seeing some groups saying that rise up
for abortion rights, for example, which is the biggest group
(44:23):
that has been so active, They're not very popular with
the other ones because they're so extremists. In their language
and in their tactics and so oh wow, So there's fractionalization.
Speaker 12 (44:31):
There is a little bit interesting, But in general I
think that what we're hearing is a lot of different
small stories about Texas fifteen year old or I'm not
sure if it's Texas, but a fifteen year old who
couldn'tet an abortion when she was raped, and the media
and Democrats are elevating specific stories like this to.
Speaker 11 (44:47):
Kind of ramp up further ahead of the midterms.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
But on the other side, what we're seeing is pro life.
Speaker 11 (44:52):
Activists saying we want to help, we want to provide support,
we want to give mother's training, and we want to
give them resources to be able to provide for their kids.
From the Biden administration, we're seeing rhetoric like just today,
the White House Press Secretary said she described abortions as
life saving care for women. Well, they're leaning into this
rhetoric to kind of combat the pro life rhetoric saying, no,
(45:14):
abortions aren't life saving, we want to help the moms,
you don't need abortions, and.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
No, that's not right. Hijacking of language, like rhetorical hijacking,
like in every sense of the words, it'll be interesting
to watch and we'll see what happens. Florida Governor Ron
de Santis announced he has banned the state's pension funds
from considering so called ESG standards otherwise known as Environmental,
Social and Governance standards when making investments for retirees. The
(45:43):
resolution with direct fund managers to invest state cash in
a manner that prioritizes the highest ROI without giving attention
to ESG guidelines. Darren, can you boil us down into
normal people speak as far as why are ESG is
so concerning to you as an economist? And is DeSantis
(46:05):
making the most effective fight pushing back against it.
Speaker 4 (46:11):
I'll take the first one first, which is ESG.
Speaker 9 (46:16):
Like a lot of these types of new policy ideas,
these new regulations, their main purpose is the hidden purpose,
and the hidden purpose is to basically push out competition.
These things just you know, capitalize industries like big tech,
big pharma, all that they love these regulations. They like
them to seem as though they're in the public interest
(46:36):
or their virtue signaling in some way. But at the
end of the day, this is really about pushing out.
Speaker 1 (46:41):
Competition, and that hurts consumers because like a social credit
score for corporations basically, but on a climate change.
Speaker 9 (46:49):
Yeah, so they want, you know, performance based on who
has the best lobbyists in Washington, DC, as opposed to
who can actually serve the consumer at the lowest price,
which is.
Speaker 4 (46:59):
What a competitive market would do.
Speaker 9 (47:00):
So this is just another way of getting around the
competitive market and having more of a you know, this
is crony capitalism on steroids ultimately.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
So as Dessanta's fighting back in the most effective manner.
Speaker 9 (47:12):
Look, I don't know the details, but I do like
what I've heard so far. I think it's great because
you know, the US is founded on the idea of
competitive federalism, so you know, when the federal government shouldn't
be doing a lot of this stuff anyway, this should
not be their role in any way, but anyway it is.
And I like the fact that it states, you know,
like Florida are standing up to it and go like, look,
(47:33):
you know, we want to be a.
Speaker 4 (47:34):
Pro competitive business environment.
Speaker 9 (47:37):
I think that's the message I've gotten from DISSENTUS on
a number of issues. He's not looking to set up
his own version of my friends should get special benefits
in Florida. He's trying to just open things up to
competition and freedom.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
Panelists, We're all out of time a hearty discussion. As always,
thank you so much for joining us. When we return
the weekly lies from the Biden White House continue to
spend and we'll be right back with all of them shortly.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
Welcome back to Weekly Briefing and to sixteen hundred Pennsylvania's
reinvention of Pinocchio's nose. Because instead of a lying puppet
yearning to be real, we have a nursing home patient
whose nose only grows if he tells the truth. Well,
that's the rumor. Anyway, let's dive in big line number one,
Canceling student loan debt will not affect inflation.
Speaker 5 (50:48):
Independent experts agree that these actions, taken together, will provide
real benefits for families without meaningful effect on inflation.
Speaker 1 (50:57):
Clearly, his three week vacation wasn't long enough to break
bad habits. Lying about inflation is a clumsy ritual at
this point for Team Biden. Let's get this straight. Economic
experts on both sides of the aisle say Biden's decision
to forgive ten thousand dollars of student loan debts for
people who make less than one hundred and twenty five
(51:17):
thousand dollars a year will heighten inflationary pressures down the road.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget explained simply extending
the current repayment pause through the end of the year
would cost an extra twenty billion dollars, creating more inflationary
pressures in the process. Back in twenty twenty one, former
(51:40):
Obama economic advisor Larry Summers tweeted extending the current moratorium
on student loan payments would be quote highly problematic and
would quote contribute to inflation pressures and guess what. That's
exactly what the Biden administration will be doing. Pausing student
loan payments for four months adds insult to injury. The
(52:01):
plan will cost between three hundred and nine hundred and
eighty billion dollars over the next ten years, with the
majority of relief heading to borrowers in the top sixty
percent of earners. By the way that top sixty percent,
they go toward those who only have a graduate degree.
Only thirteen percent of America has graduate degrees. This according
(52:22):
to pen Wharton Real Equitable of You, Joe, So the
take that student debt payouts won't affect inflation.
Speaker 5 (52:30):
Is simply not true.
Speaker 1 (52:36):
Big line number two, Joe Biden had nothing to do
with the raid on mar Lago.
Speaker 8 (52:41):
No, the President was not brief was not aware of it.
Speaker 1 (52:45):
To say the White House had no idea any of
this was in the works against Trump is a slice
of nonsense no one believed to begin with. And while
Biden may not have known the date and time of
the raid, John Solomon, not just the New US, obtained
documents showing the Biden administration directly coordinated with both the
Department of Justice and National Archives by allowing them to
(53:09):
ignore former President Trump's claims to executive privilege. The documents
show then White House Deputy Council Jonathan Sue going back
and forth with the FBI, DOJ, and National Archives. As
early as April, Sue said Joe Biden himself would not
be opposed to waiving Trump's executive privilege, and in the
(53:29):
letter dated May tenth, Acting National Archivist Deborah stidle Wall
told Trump's own lawyers of the White House's involvement. Specifically,
the letter read, the Council to the President has informed
me that in light of the particular circumstances presented here,
President Biden defers to my determination in consultation with the
(53:49):
Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel, regarding
whether or not I should uphold the former President's purported
protective assertion of executive privilege. I have therefore decided not
to honor the former president's protective claim of privilege. Biden
gave the green light. If this reporting is accurate, and
(54:12):
we have no reason to believe it isn't, it reveals
the Biden administration directly gave the DOJ the go ahead
to facilitate a criminal investigation into Joe Biden's biggest political opponent.
So the claim the White House had nothing to do
with the mar A Lago raid.
Speaker 13 (54:32):
That's simply not true.
Speaker 1 (54:34):
In other news, Ford Motor Company announced it's preparing to
fire three thousand workers as part of its transition to
producing more electric vehicles. That's a very scary headline. Joining
to discuss is former White House senior policy analyst Joanna Miller. Joanna,
you worked directly with Trade Zar Peter Navarro. What is
(54:54):
happening here?
Speaker 13 (54:56):
So as daunting as this announcement may seem, a lot,
one of the jobs that Ford has been canceling have
been white collar jobs. Ford announced that with the net
amount of jobs in Michigan, they're actually adding more blue
collar jobs related to ev manufacturing so that they can
produce more all electric trucks. So, although this announcement is
(55:19):
a little bit daunting, most of the jobs that have
been canceled have been more so on the white collar side.
As we're shifting to the electric vehicle manufacturing, I just
want to note something too. Mostly car manufacturing and internal
combustion engine manufacturing, which relates to oil and gas powered vehicles,
(55:39):
takes place outside of the United States. However, companies nationwide,
especially following the China virus pandemic, have noticed that, Okay,
when we need equipment from abroad, we're not going to
be able to get it in times of emergency.
Speaker 1 (55:53):
So you have a.
Speaker 13 (55:55):
Really unique situation. As much as as we don't want
electric vehicles to the be all, end all and canceled
the oil industry, which I do not believe it will,
you have car charging stations, electric vehicle batteries, precursor and
material for these battery battery components all being made in
the United States.
Speaker 1 (56:14):
What's concerning about this is the white collar jobs are
the jobs that pay more. They are the jobs that
are less replaceable. When you look at blue collar jobs,
especially in the automotive industry, those are jobs that you
look you talk to futurists and they say that those
are jobs that are going to be replaced by robotics,
(56:35):
by machines very soon, much sooner than we would expect.
Speaker 13 (56:39):
Right, Yeah, And I just wanted to note that I
think that part of the shift. Even though we don't
love things like the Reconciliation Bill, the Inflation Reduction Act,
which honestly will not reduce inflation, you have new provisions
coming from both the left and the right. For example,
there's a provision in there giving tax credits to to
(57:00):
manufacture electric vehicle components and batteries and materials in the
United States. Those white collar jobs, I firmly believe they're
not just going to disappear. They're going to come back.
We're shifting to American manufacturing. As daunting as these bills are,
and I firmly believe they won't help the country overall,
there are certain provisions that will be beneficial to American manufacturers.
(57:22):
So I believe that this is more so a shift
in priorities, and I don't believe that the electric vehicle
industry will outnumber the oil and gas industry. I believe
they're going to be synonymous and they're going to help
our country for the long term. But I think that
these jobs aren't actually going to disappear. We're just noticing
a shift in priorities and also a shift back to
American manufacturing.
Speaker 1 (57:44):
No, that's a great point, Joanna, thank you for bringing
it up. I think that another concern that we have
too is this idea that the Biden administration has picked
out a department for itself and as claims that it
is promoting America American manufact Talk to us about that
office and what they've done in the last few months.
(58:05):
Are they keeping up with their promise to bring more
manufacturing back to the United States.
Speaker 13 (58:11):
Yeah, this is something I know. We've talked about a ton,
and we both know that that Biden has stripped tariffs
off of solar panels so that the Chinese can still
supply Chinese components for these for these you know, solar panels,
and they have all these green energy dreams. The only
good thing that's coming out of that is amidst these
green energy dream that the Biden administration has, it's actually
(58:35):
strengthening American manufacturing within that sort of sphere, within under
other specter, uh, other aspects of our economy. I just
think that, you know, they they're completely betraying American manufacturing jobs.
With our oil industry. We should be not canceling pipeline jobs.
We should be keeping those. But the only good thing
(58:56):
that's come out of Biden's green energy fantasies have been
stronger provisions to manufacture in the USA. So we know
that tariffs have been taken off, we know that jobs
have been canceled on the Keystone Pipeline, which I think
is terrible for this country. However, the only good thing
about this is that they actually are passing some sort
of provisions to make sure that our batteries, our battery
(59:21):
components are being made in the USA and giving tax
incentives for that to end up benefiting manufacturing jobs in
those spheres.
Speaker 1 (59:30):
So thank you Johanna for clarifying all that. Always good
to have a silver lining. And that's all the time
we have. Remember to watch Weekly Briefing every Saturday and
