- 0:30welcome world of blaze listeners and welcome to episode 27
- 0:56Well, the election debate just happened. The CNN hosted election debate for the 2024 presidential election. At least the first debate that we're going to have has just passed.
- 1:09I have been holding out, putting out an episode this week. Usually I try to get them out, you know, at least by Wednesdays.
- 1:16But with the debate coming up, I thought I'd hold out until after the debate was over to release this.
- 1:22And this will be my first response to the debate.
- 1:28I'm going to concentrate on a few topics or questions that were asked in the debate.
- 1:35And what I'm going to do is, well, we're going to do a little bit of fact checking here.
- 1:40Fact checking based on actual facts, not just headlines or emotions, but actual facts.
- 1:46and we're going to do a more in-depth breakdown later with myself and a couple of other guests
- 1:54of the show and we'll dive deeper into the debate later and actually do a breakdown but this is
- 1:59going to be my initial reaction response but first let me raise my frosty beverage to everybody
- 2:06and here's a big world of blaze cheers to all of you that are listening around the world here
- 2:13and if you got them take your cigars smoke them sit back and really take everything in
- 2:19and i hope you really get something out of this and first up is the first question i believe they
- 2:26asked of the night if i'm correct but either way we're going to go to one of the three hot topics
- 2:31and and actually the three biggest topics of the election have been border security
- 2:36the economy and abortion has been a very hot topic again so starting with border security
- 2:45i'm going to go ahead and just play these clips and i may stop them i may not i may
- 2:50enter interject into them but either way i am going to go ahead and give you
- 2:56facts based on the questions and answers and maybe even a little bit of my own opinion
- 3:02All right, so let's start here again from the CNN hosted 2024 presidential debate.
- 3:10And this is the question that was asked in regards to the border security.
- 3:15Thank you.
- 3:16Let's turn on to the issue of immigration and border security.
- 3:19President Biden, a record number of migrants have illegally crossed the southern border on your watch.
- 3:24Overwhelming border states and overburdening cities such as New York and Chicago,
- 3:28and in some cases causing real safety and security concerns.
- 3:31Given that, why should voters trust you to solve this crisis?
- 3:35Because we worked very hard to get a bipartisan agreement that not only changed all of that,
- 3:41but made sure that we are in a situation where you had no circumstance where they could come across the border
- 3:47with the number of border police there are now.
- 3:50We significantly increased the number of asylum officers.
- 3:53By the way, the Border Patrol endorsed me, endorsed my position.
- 3:57In addition to that, we find ourselves in a situation where when he was president, he was taking, separating babies from their mothers, putting them in cages, making sure the families were separated.
- 4:08That's not the right way to go.
- 4:10What I've done since I've changed the law, what's happened?
- 4:14I've changed it in a way that now you're in a situation where there are 40 percent fewer people coming across the border illegally.
- 4:21It's better than when he left office.
- 4:22All right. I'm going to interject actually right there.
- 4:24So Biden had just stated that Trump separated families and threw them in cages.
- 4:34There may be some fact to that because it was under his administration, but it was also
- 4:40policies that were already put in place under the Obama administration.
- 4:43In fact, I remember that those cages that he's talking about were built under the Obama
- 4:48administration in response to detaining illegal immigrants and holding them until they could
- 4:56figure out whether they would be deported or accepted into the United States under the rules
- 5:02of asylum. Okay. So first off, he's pretty much, he's a little off right there. Let's keep going.
- 5:10And I'm going to continue to move until we get the total ban on the, the, the, the total initiative
- 5:16relative to what we're going to do with more border patrol and more asylum officers.
- 5:22President Trump?
- 5:23I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence.
- 5:25I don't think he knows what he said either.
- 5:27Look, we had the safest border in the history of our country.
- 5:31All he had to do was leave it.
- 5:32All he had to do was leave it.
- 5:33He decided to open up our border, open up our country to people that are from prisons,
- 5:41people that are from mental institutions, insane asylum, terrorists.
- 5:45We have the largest number of terrorists coming into our country right now.
- 5:48All terrorists all over the world, not just in South America, all over the world.
- 5:52They come from the Middle East everywhere, all over the world.
- 5:55They're pouring in. And this guy just left it open.
- 5:58And he didn't need legislation because I didn't have legislation.
- 6:01I said, close the border. We had the safest border in history.
- 6:04In that final couple of months of my presidency, we had, according to Border Patrol, who is great.
- 6:10And by the way, who endorsed me for president.
- 6:12But I won't say that, but they endorsed me for president.
- 6:15Brandon just speak to him but look we had the safest border in history I'm gonna stop it I
- 6:20don't know if anyone caught that but he just called Joe Biden Brandon which is definitely
- 6:25a shot so if if you don't recall what that means or what that's about it is the chant that was
- 6:33covered up long ago and it was the chant was let's go Brandon well let's go Brandon actually
- 6:41was a cover-up because it was done during a live coverage where they were talking to President
- 6:48Biden at a large event. And what the crowd was actually saying was, fuck Joe Biden. Well,
- 6:56the reporter at the time hearing this and knowing that it was being caught on the live broadcast,
- 7:01they tried to manipulate it to where they're saying, no, it doesn't, I think it sounds like
- 7:05they're saying, let's go, Brandon.
- 7:07So President Trump definitely throws a shot at Joe Biden
- 7:12by calling him Brandon, which is freaking hilarious.
- 7:15Now we have the worst border in history.
- 7:17There's never been anything like it.
- 7:18And people are dying all over the place,
- 7:20including the people that are coming up in caravans.
- 7:23Thank you, President Trump.
- 7:23President Biden?
- 7:24The only terrorist who's done anything across the border
- 7:27is one who came along and killed three under his administration,
- 7:31killed an al-Qaeda person coming in at his administration.
- 7:35kill three american soldiers kill three american soldiers that's the only terrorist that's there
- 7:41i'm not saying that no terrorist ever got through with the idea they're emptying their prisons we're
- 7:45we're welcoming these people that's simply not true there's no data to support what he said
- 7:50once again he's exaggerating he's lying okay so that's that um let me circle back to a little bit
- 7:56in the beginning of this questioning in uh biden's response when he made a statement that
- 8:02the Border Patrol actually endorses him for president and supports him.
- 8:06Well, that's a blatant lie.
- 8:07In fact, not long after the statement on X, the Border Patrol themselves, in fact, I think
- 8:14it was the Border Patrol Union made a statement that they not now nor ever or ever will support
- 8:21nor endorse Joe Biden.
- 8:23So that was a blatant lie.
- 8:24And the Border Patrol Union themselves said, nope, we will not support Biden.
- 8:29the second thing i want to bring up that i wanted this to play out a little bit before i stopped it
- 8:34actually i think we're at the end of this question was the border security issues while trump was
- 8:41was right in his statement in fact well he is right he's correct the border was safer under trump
- 8:49okay now biden's trying to say that hey you know we got the first bipartisan agreement to close the
- 8:56border were working on doing xyz sure bullshit though because when trump was president under
- 9:02social pressures driven by the leftist media as well as by democrats in leadership positions
- 9:11they did everything they could to not support trump's effort in closing the border by labeling
- 9:16him a racist okay there's nothing racist about controlling our borders now as far as the terrorist
- 9:24comment. Joe Biden did have to say, I never said there weren't terrorists coming over,
- 9:30but he also tries to downplay the situation we're having with terrorists that have been
- 9:37encountered at the border. So here's a little fact check here. In fact, this is part of my
- 9:41response that I made to Mark Cuban when he made a post about what was going on with the debate
- 9:47and calling Trump a liar. And I just want to make it clear, I might lean more Trump on this,
- 9:52but I'm not necessarily saying Trump is the clear winner in any way in this debate. I mean,
- 9:59that's all up for debate in and of itself. And of course, will be your own opinion. But
- 10:03here's the truth about the terrorist encounter situation. Okay. So my response was this,
- 10:12and I also got a lot of information that you can listen to. And you can also click the links in
- 10:19the show notes for episode 14 in which I did an episode about Ilhan Omar's nefarious past
- 10:26and her intentions as well as taking on the crisis we have at the border. So my response in this
- 10:34expose was those who say that Trump lied over 30 times in the debate don't actually know the truth
- 10:39and are just regurgitating what's said by the media. When he said the border was out of control
- 10:45and that terrorists were entering the United States, he was correct. According to the U.S.
- 10:49Customs and Border Protection, thus far in 2024, they have recorded encounters with 316 terrorists
- 10:58that are on the watch list and the year isn't over. In 2023, they recorded encounters with 736
- 11:07terrorists on the watch list. These numbers only account for those individuals who have been
- 11:12apprehended while entering all ports of entry. There has been a measurable increase in terrorist
- 11:18encounters in the United States with a total of 1,703 encounters under Joe Biden's presidency so
- 11:25far. The only year that saw a dismal amount of encounters was in 2021, which was Biden's first
- 11:31year in office. But that was also one of the first full years of the COVID pandemic.
- 11:37so there you have it and that statement i made you can actually find the data on the customs
- 11:46and border patrol website it is right there and in terms of you know if we want to if we want to
- 11:53debate whether trump was right about the border being more secure under his presidency versus
- 11:58biden's i got more facts for you this is taken directly from the customs and border patrol.gov
- 12:04website. Now, this data is going to allow me to compare what happened under Trump's presidency
- 12:12and Biden's presidency. And these encounters are classified differently here. Okay. So
- 12:21there's encounters that are basically people who were admissible, which refers to individuals
- 12:29encountered at ports of entry who are seeking lawful admission to the United States, but are
- 12:33determined to be inadmissible, individuals presenting themselves to seek humanitarian
- 12:39protection under our laws, and individuals who withdraw an application for admission and return
- 12:46to their countries of origin within a short time frame. Now, there's another set of data here
- 12:54within this table that refers to apprehensions that led to physical control or temporary detainment of a person who was not lawfully in the u which may or may not result in arrest so literal illegal immigrants
- 13:12or illegal aliens however you want to coin coin that term or classify um these people
- 13:18but i'm going to concentrate first on what is considered to be the illegal i mean blatantly
- 13:25illegal entries. Okay. So in 2017, which would be Trump's first year in office here,
- 13:31they recorded 310,531 illegal immigrant encounters. Contrast that to Joe Biden's
- 13:44first year in office in 2021, there was 1,662,167 illegal immigrants or illegal encounters
- 13:54with illegal aliens. Huge contrast, but we're not done. Trump's second year in office. Now,
- 14:06things did start going up a bit for Trump. In 2018, those illegal immigrant encounters were
- 14:13404,142. Biden's second year in office, when he was in office for his second term,
- 14:21I mean second year, not term, sorry, second year, it was 2,214,652.
- 14:32Not even comparable, okay?
- 14:35Trump's third year in office, 859,501.
- 14:39Now that was a significant spike there.
- 14:42But compared to Joe Biden's third year in office, it kind of went down a little bit,
- 14:46but it was still it was 2,063,692. Now let's contrast that number with Trump's last year
- 14:57in office which was 2020. Now the previous year the third year of Trump's service to America
- 15:04as president he was 859,501 as I previously mentioned but reduced that number by about half
- 15:13in his last term in 2020. Illegal immigrant encounters were down to 405,036.
- 15:23Now here we are on Joe Biden's final year of his term in 2024. And the numbers went down for him
- 15:31as well, but the year isn't over. We still have a few months to go. And Joe Biden, under his
- 15:38tutelage under his presidency, his final year in office for his first term, he's at 1,293,375
- 15:52illegal immigrant encounters. The data is clear, the numbers are clear. Now, if we're talking about
- 16:00total actions with people who are denied entrance due to, you know, their background records or
- 16:07whatever, if we're looking at totals, the numbers are even more astronomical. If we're combining
- 16:11all data for all encounters, we're still not even close. I mean, I'll take 2023, for example,
- 16:19Joe Biden 2023 versus Trump's 2019. So 2019 under Trump, total encounters for everything that was
- 16:29recorded with illegal versus those seeking asylum, but denied or whatever the case was,
- 16:33was 1,148,024. Under Biden in 23, his third year, just as against Trump's third year,
- 16:43Biden was at 3,201,144. And every year, there's a huge contrast, okay, a huge contrast. But again,
- 16:53seems like the third year spike for both presidents were pretty large for whatever reason.
- 16:58but let's go ahead and take trump's first year totals i mean total total so his first year 17
- 17:042017 was 526 901 okay biden's first year in office totals 1,956,519 we're not even comparing
- 17:16so when trump said that they had they had under under his presidency the most secure border
- 17:22border like you've never seen. Look, I can't say I agree with the fact or what his statement is
- 17:29about it being the most secure border ever in history, but it was definitely a secure border,
- 17:33at least a way more secure border than what we're dealing with now. Okay. But I'm not sure
- 17:41that the Democratic Party, at least Biden's team, actually wants to accept this data.
- 17:50they're definitely trying to spin it in his direction and try to blame the Republican
- 17:55party for not letting him close the border. But he was under the same, he's dealing with the same
- 18:00situation that Trump did. Neither party when, or neither opposing party, I mean, when either
- 18:07president is or was in office would approve support. Trump was in office. He never got the
- 18:12support from the Democratic party to be able to close the borders, but somehow Trump still made
- 18:16work okay Biden in office of course the Republican Party's going to oppose him just because that's
- 18:22the nature but they did it for different reasons because they tried to pack other things into these
- 18:27bills such as more support for Ukraine alongside the border control bill here which made no sense
- 18:36and and so the Republican Party literally wanted hey let's separate these single single item bills
- 18:43and if we're going to pass anything in regard to securing our border let's just concentrate on that
- 18:48stop trying to fold in another 60 billion dollars for ukraine or whatever it was a lot of people
- 18:53forget about that and the issue we're going to have with anyone um or most people here trying
- 18:59to decide you know who's going to be the president who is the one who's right for the country who's a
- 19:05liar who isn't a liar is you got to read past the fucking headlines man you really do again read
- 19:12past the headlines because the data is there. You can't cover up facts. So let's go ahead and move
- 19:18on to the next topic at hand that I believe most Americans are very, very, very concerned with.
- 19:27Of course, it's our economy. Look, our money's going to shit. It's not worth much of anything
- 19:32anymore. Inflation is ridiculous. The cost of living is just going astronomically out the window.
- 19:40people can't keep up anymore look the dollar just isn't doing it for us anymore right it's just not
- 19:46happening everyone is starting to feel it even those who have what is considered to be upper
- 19:51middle class income they're just not in a position to absorb it anymore either i'm going to go ahead
- 19:58and play the back and forth on this question in regard to the economy gentlemen thanks so much
- 20:07for being here. Let's begin the debate and let's start with the issue that voters consistently say
- 20:11is their top concern, the economy. President Biden, inflation has slowed, but prices remain high.
- 20:20Since you took office, the price of essentials has increased. For example, a basket of groceries
- 20:25that cost $100 then now costs more than $120. And typical home prices have jumped more than 30%.
- 20:32percent. What do you say to voters who feel they are worse off under your presidency than they were
- 20:37under President Trump? We got to take a look at what I was left when I became president,
- 20:42what Mr. Trump left me. We had an economy that was in free fall. The pandemic was so badly handled.
- 20:48Many people were dying. All he said was, it's not that serious. Just inject a little bleach
- 20:53into your arm. You'll be all right. The economy collapsed. There were no jobs. Unemployment rate
- 20:58rose to 15 percent it was terrible and so what we had to do is try to put things back together again
- 21:04that's exactly what we began to do we created 15 000 new jobs we brought out a position where
- 21:11we have 800 000 new manufacturing jobs but there's more to be done there's more to be done working
- 21:16class people are still in trouble i come from scranton pennsylvania i come of household where
- 21:21the kitchen table if the things weren't able to be met during the month it was a problem price of
- 21:25of eggs, the price of gas, the price of housing, the price of a whole range of things. That's why
- 21:30I'm working so hard to make sure I deal with those problems. And we're going to make sure that we
- 21:34reduce the price of housing. We're going to make sure we build 2 million new units. We're going to
- 21:40make sure we cap rents so corporate greed can't take over. The combination of what I was left with
- 21:44and corporate greed is the reason why we're in this problem right now. I'm going to address what
- 21:48he said about what he was left with. Okay. Especially when he was talking about jobs.
- 21:54So the job market, let's just be honest and let's be real.
- 21:58Let's think outside of our, like I said, emotions or support for whatever team you support here or party you support.
- 22:06Put your pom-poms down, stop shaking them, and let's go ahead and read some more facts.
- 22:12Now, you can find this information on actual statistical government websites, but I figure if anybody knows anything about money and business, it's Forbes.
- 22:19and Forbes actually did a breakdown in comparison in regards to economy and business under Joe Biden
- 22:27versus Trump. I'm just gonna read the job market just because that was where I stopped. So the job
- 22:33market. According to Forbes and I agree with and these are factual numbers both Biden and Trump
- 22:38oversaw strong labor markets which they did. Since Biden took office overall employment is up 11%.
- 22:45average pay is up 17%. Okay, so that's respectable. It's good. And unemployment is down from 6.7% to
- 22:524%. Still not bad. It shows a reduction, but 4% is still not acceptable. But we did see a reduction
- 22:59over time under his presidency. There's more in here where I'll talk about the inflation numbers.
- 23:06Okay, now it goes on to say, perhaps Trump's most impressive labor market feat were unemployment
- 23:13declining from 4.7% to as low as 3.5% in 2019, okay?
- 23:20And early 2020.
- 23:22So what happened after 2020?
- 23:24We get, you know, further into 2020 and into 21.
- 23:29Guess what?
- 23:30Pandemic, you know, after the beginning of 2020,
- 23:32those numbers carried over.
- 23:34Once the pandemic really hit our shores,
- 23:36everything got shut down, jobs were shut down, jobs were lost.
- 23:40now to put that decline in jobs on trump for trying to handle an unprecedented event that
- 23:50that no one in our lifetime has ever had to go against i'm talking about a world pandemic
- 23:57it's ridiculous it's very ridiculous that joe biden is going to take credit for his job growths
- 24:04the job growths against the declining jobs during the state of a pandemic under Trump,
- 24:13where it was instructed by medical professionals that were advising the White House to shut things
- 24:23down, to try to, you know, slow the spread, as they said. Now, I will say that, I mean, Forbes
- 24:34does go on to say that you know these these numbers that trump had under his um the unemployment
- 24:41numbers which were as low as 3.5 was actually tied with the lowest level since 1969 and the wage
- 24:49growth the wages growing by an inflation beating 15 percent over his four-year term so yes
- 24:57economically it was way better under Trump what happened to Trump COVID-19 that fucked everything
- 25:06up for everyone and to blame a president when every world leader had an issue with this and
- 25:14just about every single country had a problem trying to navigate those waters and get their
- 25:19economies back is extremely cheap and a easy low-hanging fruit to pick from that tree of
- 25:29flinging insults by Joe Biden. It's bullshit. And for Joe Biden to claim that his job was so great,
- 25:37listen, they were bounce back jobs. Like literally there were people who finally went back to
- 25:43fucking work. You can't claim that Joe, I'm sorry. All right, I'm going to go ahead and continue this.
- 25:47In addition to that, we're in a situation where if you had to take a look at all that was done in his administration, he didn't do much at all.
- 25:56By the time he left things were in chaos literally chaos And so we put things back together We created I said those jobs We make sure we had a situation where we now we brought down the price of
- 26:07prescription drugs, which is a major issue for many people, to $15 for an insulin shot
- 26:14as opposed to $400. No senior has to pay more than $200 for any drug, all the drugs they
- 26:20can include beginning next year. And the situation is making, and we're going to make that available
- 26:25everybody, to all Americans. So we're working to bring down the price around the kitchen table.
- 26:30And that's what we're going to get done. Thank you, President Trump.
- 26:34We have the greatest economy in the history of our country. We have never done so well.
- 26:40Every everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us. We got hit with
- 26:44COVID. And when we did, we spent the money necessary so we wouldn't end up in a Great
- 26:50Depression, the likes of which we had in 1929 by the time we finished. So we did a great job. We
- 26:56got a lot of credit for the economy, a lot of credit for the military and no wars and so many
- 27:00other things. Everything was rocking good. But the thing we never got the credit for and we should
- 27:05have is getting us out of that COVID mess. He created mandates that was a disaster for our
- 27:11country. But other than that, we had we had given them back a a country where the stock market
- 27:17actually was higher than pre-COVID, and nobody thought that was even possible. The only jobs he
- 27:22created are for illegal immigrants and bounce-back jobs, a bounce-back from the COVID. He has not done
- 27:28a good job. He's done a poor job, and inflation's killing our country. It is absolutely killing us.
- 27:33So again, as I said, and I agree with Trump, those jobs were bounce-back jobs that Biden is trying to
- 27:38claim and trying to add to his job growth percentages, which is bullshit. I am going to
- 27:44call Trump out a little bit on this though. We did have a great economy, just as I agree,
- 27:50most people agree. Forbes breaks it down. And if you look at statistical government data,
- 27:54it'll show the same thing. But the navigation through the pandemic, Trump's just got to admit
- 28:01the fact, nobody knew what they were doing. They were doing the best they could. And yes,
- 28:06Trump did get us through, but it wasn't squeaky clean and it wasn't amazing.
- 28:11I credit him for doing what he could but it wasn't perfect so Trump I would have to say Trump has to
- 28:19admit look those were very tough times we did the best we could but the fact is before that point up
- 28:25to the point of that world catastrophe Trump did an amazing job and the economy was doing very well
- 28:31lowest unemployment rate tied with the best lowest unemployment rate from 1969 I mean that's
- 28:41amazing. And job pay rate outpacing inflation at 15%, also amazing. So as far as inflation goes,
- 28:55and they're going to start getting into it here. Let me play a little more and I'll go back to the
- 28:59inflationary numbers because that's a big thing that has come up under Biden.
- 29:03Thank you. President Biden?
- 29:05Well, look, the greatest economy in the world. He's the only one that thinks that, I think. I
- 29:09I don't know what anybody else thinks he had the greatest economy in the world.
- 29:12And, you know, the fact of the matter is that we found ourselves in a situation where his economy, he rewarded the wealthy.
- 29:21He had the largest tax cut in American history, $2 trillion.
- 29:25He raised a deficit larger than any president has in any one term.
- 29:28He's the only president other than Herbert Hoover, who's lost more jobs than he had when he began, since Herbert Hoover.
- 29:35Again, those job losses were attributed to the COVID pandemic there.
- 29:39Biden, I mean, seriously?
- 29:42It was attributed to the COVID pandemic.
- 29:45This guy's a piece of work.
- 29:48Did something that was significant in the military.
- 29:51You know, when he was president,
- 29:53they were still killing people in Afghanistan.
- 29:55He didn't do anything about that.
- 29:57When he was president, we still find ourselves in a position
- 29:59where you had a notion that we were this safe country.
- 30:04The truth is, I'm the only president this century
- 30:07that doesn't have any, this decade,
- 30:10that doesn't have any troops dying anywhere in the world like he did.
- 30:15President Trump, I want to follow up if I can.
- 30:18Am I allowed to respond to him?
- 30:19Well, I'm going to ask you a follow-up.
- 30:20You can do whatever you want with the minute that we give you.
- 30:22I want to follow up.
- 30:24You want to impose a 10% tariff on all goods coming into the U.S.
- 30:28How will you ensure that that doesn't drive prices even higher?
- 30:31It's not going to drive them higher.
- 30:32It's just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years,
- 30:35like China and many others, in all fairness to China, it's going to just force them to pay us
- 30:40a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things. But
- 30:45he made a statement. The only thing he was right about is I gave you the largest tax cut in history.
- 30:50I also gave you the largest regulation cut in history. That's why we had all the jobs.
- 30:54And the jobs went down, and then they bounced back. And he's taking credit for bounce-back jobs.
- 30:58You can't do that. He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation. Now, he inherited almost no
- 31:04inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership because
- 31:09they spent money like a bunch of people that didn't know what they were doing and they don't
- 31:13know what they were doing. It was the worst, probably the worst administration in history.
- 31:17There's never been. And as far as Afghanistan is concerned, I was getting out of Afghanistan,
- 31:22but we were getting out with dignity, with strength, with power. He got out. It was the
- 31:27most embarrassing day in the history of our country's life. I agree. Afghanistan was a mess.
- 31:33everybody remembers that it was horrible biden fucked that up but before i go down that rub hole
- 31:40in fact i'm i'm not going to go too much deeper into that because it was very public and i don't
- 31:46care if you're republican or democrat you have to look at that situation how it is handled and you
- 31:51have to agree that that was a mess let's get back to the inflationary numbers so again going back to
- 31:58this Forbes breakdown, inflation, which has been far worse during the Biden administration.
- 32:02So regardless of what Biden just said, you know, the data shows that it has been worse.
- 32:08Under the Biden administration, it's been up 19.9% over the first 41 months of Biden's term
- 32:14compared to only 5.4% during Trump's first 41 months. I'm sorry, Biden. What did Trump leave
- 32:24you with? He left you with which inflationary numbers? Like, get the fuck out of here. Okay.
- 32:32Year over year, inflation peaked under Biden at a four-decade high of 9% in 2022 before falling to
- 32:42just over 3%, which Biden has blamed on COVID-19's lingering impact and the Russia-Ukraine war.
- 32:50he will not take responsibility for the fact that he's driving our economy into the ground
- 32:55and devaluing our dollar as far as debt blaming trump for all the debt he created yes when he was
- 33:05in office the debt was large but are you trying to tell me that sending 60 billion dollars every
- 33:11chance you get to ukraine isn't adding to our debt that sending x amount of dollars to israel
- 33:17to support their efforts, which I don't believe we should be doing because Israel is a strong,
- 33:21wealthy country that stands on its own. But regardless, there are allies, but we send them
- 33:25support. We send money all over the world, consistently just draining our coffers,
- 33:31emptying our pockets to prop up and support other nations. While we just turned a blind eye
- 33:37to everything else that they do. Biden's a liar. And the other thing I'm going to say about Biden
- 33:42being a liar is he stated that no military troops anywhere in the world died under his presidency
- 33:49and that is also false. Afghanistan, that's only one of the things that stand out, situations that
- 33:56stand out where we did have deaths of U.S. troops publicized. I'm sorry Biden, but you're just a
- 34:02blatant liar. And it's funny that nobody calls him out for this. All they do is say Trump lies
- 34:09out of his just just just lies through his teeth they stated that during this debate he made over
- 34:1530 lies some other person said it was over 400 lies like they don't even know what they're talking
- 34:19about they're just throwing things out the wall to see what sticks the whole thing about this
- 34:23trump versus biden debate and presidential campaign is basically headlines the more they
- 34:33say something the more you will believe it regardless of whether or not you look into the
- 34:37facts. Let me go ahead and continue this. Trump, over the last eight years, under both of your
- 34:43administrations, the national debt soared to record highs. And according to a new nonpartisan
- 34:48analysis, President Trump, your administration approved $8.4 trillion in new debt. Well, so far,
- 34:53President Biden, you've approved $4.3 trillion in new debt. So former President Trump, many of the
- 34:58tax cuts that you signed into law are set to expire next year. You want to extend them and
- 35:03go even further, you say. With the U.S. facing trillion dollar deficits and record debt, why
- 35:09should top earners and corporations pay even less in taxes than they do now? Because the tax cut
- 35:15spurred the greatest economy that we've ever seen just prior to COVID. And even after COVID,
- 35:19it was so strong that we're able to get through COVID much better than just about any other
- 35:24country. But we spurred, that tax spurred. Now, when we cut the taxes, as an example, the corporate
- 35:30tax was cut down to 21 percent from 39 percent plus beyond that. We took in more revenue with
- 35:36much less tax and companies were bringing back trillions of dollars back into our country.
- 35:41The country was going like never before. And we were ready to start paying down debt. We're ready
- 35:47start using the liquid gold right under our feet, the oil and gas right under our feet. We were going
- 35:52to have something that nobody else has had. We got hit with COVID. We did a lot to fix it. I gave
- 35:58him an unbelievable situation with all of the therapeutics and all of the things that we came
- 36:03up with. We gave him something great. Remember, more people died under his administration,
- 36:10even though we had largely fixed it. More people died under his administration than our
- 36:15administration. And we were right in the middle of it. Something which a lot of people don't like
- 36:19to talk about. But he had far more people dying in his administration. He did the mandate, which
- 36:25is a disaster, mandating it. The vaccine went out. He did a mandate on the vaccine, which is the thing
- 36:30that people most objected to about the vaccine. And he did a very poor job, just a very poor job.
- 36:36And I will tell you, not only poor there, but throughout the entire world, we're no longer
- 36:41respected as a country. They don't respect our leadership. They don't respect the United States
- 36:45anymore. We're like a third world nation between weaponization of his election, trying to go after
- 36:51his political opponent. All of the things he's done, we've become like a third world nation.
- 36:56And it's a shame. The damage he's done to our country, and I'd love to ask him and will why he
- 37:02allowed millions of people to come in here from prisons, jails and mental institutions to come
- 37:07into our country and destroy our country. President Trump, we will get to immigration
- 37:12later in this block. President Biden, I want to give you an opportunity to respond to this
- 37:16question about the national debt. He had the largest national debt of any president for your
- 37:21period, number one. Number two, that $2 trillion tax cut benefited the very wealthy. What I'm
- 37:28going to do is fix the tax system. For example, we have 1,000 billionaires in America. And
- 37:35what's happening? They're in a situation where they, in fact, pay 8.2 percent in taxes.
- 37:40If they just paid 24 percent or 25 percent, either one of those numbers, they'd raise
- 37:45$500 million, billion dollars, I should say, in a 10-year period.
- 37:49We would be able to wipe out his debt.
- 37:52We would be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do, child care, elder
- 37:56care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system, making sure that we're
- 38:01able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with
- 38:07with the COVID, excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with, look, if we finally beat Medicare.
- 38:21Thank you, President.
- 38:22All right, well, towards the end there, Biden is clearly, clearly showing that he's having a little bit of cognitive issues.
- 38:30issues. Now, not saying he's stupid because I got to say that when I watched the entire debate,
- 38:35Biden is fairly sharp. Some of his responses when he's on is good. He's not stupid whatsoever. You
- 38:46can see he's got, when he reaches back in there into that brain, that big old brain of his,
- 38:52that he pulls out some fairly good responses But getting back to the question at hand And I going to also say that in this question Trump went a bit off topic instead of just you know sticking to answering the question about the economy
- 39:10And everybody does this in debate. They do what they can to sling this and that at the other person
- 39:15to try to make them look bad or insult them. And I wish that we would eventually get to the point
- 39:21where we can just have a debate where both sides just really answer the question and debate the
- 39:27actual question being asked but that's not how things go unfortunately but here we are now true
- 39:33did is biden wrong and trump having one of the largest deficits no not necessarily not not at all
- 39:41but we aren't done adding everything up under biden's presidency and all the policies have
- 39:49been passed all everything that's been going on with as again as i said before the continual funding
- 39:55of foreign nations and foreign policies,
- 40:00is that not being counted into the bottom line for our debt,
- 40:07even under Biden's presidency right now?
- 40:11I'm asking the question because I really don't know.
- 40:15But given the things that we got to say,
- 40:18like we already talked about inflation,
- 40:20we talked about job market.
- 40:22The other thing that was brought up was the stock market.
- 40:25Basically, Forbes said here that stocks perform better under Trump, period.
- 40:30But both presidencies did fairly well.
- 40:33The S&P 500 index has posted an annualized gain of 10.8% since Biden took office in 21,
- 40:40but compared to 14.1% under Trump.
- 40:44Now, the 10.8 is still respectable.
- 40:45It's not bad.
- 40:46Is Biden lying and saying that the economy is doing okay in terms of the stock market?
- 40:53Because he said that before.
- 40:54okay so stock market's doing all right but why is everything else shit and it still doesn't
- 41:00even compare to what trump's numbers were as as the stock market is concerned with trump's rate
- 41:06of 14.1 okay the other thing that they didn't address that we have to go ahead and address
- 41:13would be gas prices which is huge for most people especially those who live in congested cities or
- 41:19commute to work i mean i know in california it's a big thing i i don't live in other states
- 41:23obviously. I've visited some. I'm sure that you have bad traffic, the whole deal. I hear New York's
- 41:28horrible. I'm sure parts of Chicago, et cetera. But I do know what we deal with, and I can definitely
- 41:33relate to these numbers. It says here the gas prices, average cost of a gallon of gasoline
- 41:38dipped from $2.37 to $2.28 from December 2016 to 2020. So the gas prices were already fairly low
- 41:50and then went down a little bit lower through Trump's presidency.
- 41:54By the last week of 2020, it went to $3.58 on the last week.
- 42:02According to the Energy Information Administration,
- 42:03gas prices rose to an all-time high of over $5 per gallon in 2022,
- 42:11that being the second year of Biden's presidency.
- 42:13Shortly after, Russia's invasion of Ukraine caused energy prices globally to spike
- 42:18as the U.S. and its allies vowed not to buy oil from Russia.
- 42:21Now, I'm going to fact check Forbes a little bit on this one
- 42:24because gas prices weren't just directly related
- 42:29to what happened with the Ukraine invasion.
- 42:32Remember that Trump also did make us pretty much energy dependent.
- 42:39And Joe Biden went ahead and signed orders
- 42:42to basically stop the drilling and stop using our own reserves.
- 42:46In fact, he was selling off our reserves for a while to other nations, but we're not using
- 42:53it.
- 42:54So he's leaving us in a position where we are now becoming energy reliant, all to be
- 43:00able to basically convert everything over to their new green deal.
- 43:07That's a whole discussion for another episode.
- 43:09But I have to fact check that little piece of information here from Forbes.
- 43:13Now, let's talk about the federal debt.
- 43:16The federal debt here, the national debt of $34.75 trillion is 25% higher than the day
- 43:27Biden took office after rising 39% during Trump's presidency.
- 43:33Up from $19.95 trillion in January 2017, with the U.S. running a total deficit of $5.85 trillion
- 43:41from its 2021 to 23 fiscal years compared to $2.43 trillion from 2017 to 2019 and a record $3.13
- 43:51trillion in 2020 alone. So if I'm reading this and I got this correct, looks like they're saying
- 43:59that it's actually higher under Biden's presidency. So yeah, it says here the federal government's
- 44:07national debt of $34.75 trillion, which is currently right now. It's 25% higher than when
- 44:13Biden actually took office, which is after Trump was no longer president. Interesting.
- 44:20So again, I guess we just caught Biden in another lie.
- 44:26All right. So let's go ahead and move on to the hot topic of hot topics over here.
- 44:33you know actually i got one more thing i want to keep beating the drum over here when it comes to
- 44:38the to the economy um and this is going to be this is going to be how money has been spent in
- 44:46different states under the uh well pretty much democratically led states there's been there's
- 44:53been this going on here okay the illegal immigrants as aliens whatever there's always been a question
- 44:59into how much money has been funneled into these programs
- 45:04to take care of illegal immigrants.
- 45:08Now, this didn't come up necessarily,
- 45:10but here's an article from 2023,
- 45:13and this is from the Heritage Foundation.
- 45:15It says, deluxe housing for illegal migrants,
- 45:17but not for the military.
- 45:19So basically, here's a few key takeaways here.
- 45:21First key takeaway,
- 45:23the Biden administration is paying $2.5 billion,
- 45:27Okay, $2.5 billion in taxpayer funds for immigration and customs enforcement to house illegal immigrants or illegal migrants.
- 45:36The contrast between these generous living conditions and the housing situation for American military families is stark.
- 45:43Also, these numbers don't lie.
- 45:45They provide a stark demonstration of who they care and don't care about if Biden won't fix the discrepancy Congress should.
- 45:52So it says the Biden administration is paying $2.5 billion in taxpayer funds for immigration
- 45:56and customs enforcement to house illegal migrants.
- 45:58ICE provides them not only food and bed, but medical and dental care, recreation, and other
- 46:04services to meet higher standards than county detention systems, for example.
- 46:09However, the administration is not filling the beds in these facilities.
- 46:12It's choosing to bypass ICE and simply release the migrants onto the streets in many cases
- 46:18where they need to be housed in other facilities.
- 46:21So they're wasting money paying for these facilities for them to be housed, then putting
- 46:26them on the street anyway, where they have to go and be paid to be housed elsewhere anyway.
- 46:31Okay, so that's one thing that a lot of people don't bring up and didn't realize.
- 46:37And you got to dig for a lot of this information here.
- 46:40Okay, you really do.
- 46:42There's another couple schemes that were going on.
- 46:45Daily Mail was given exclusive access to two California hotels, temporary housing migrants
- 46:50under a $500,000 a month government-funded scheme.
- 46:54So $500,000 a month to house illegal migrants
- 46:58spent and supported by the government.
- 47:02And basically what they were doing
- 47:03is they were buying out these hotels
- 47:05in where they were going to use the entire hotel
- 47:10to house illegal migrants.
- 47:13This was funded by the state of California
- 47:16and by FEMA, okay,
- 47:19federal government organization, FEMA.
- 47:22More money being spent by Biden,
- 47:26and I understand the sentiment,
- 47:29especially for those seeking legal asylum.
- 47:33I get wanting to make sure another human being
- 47:35has a right to food, shelter, clothing,
- 47:37and access to medical care,
- 47:41but taking taxpayers' money
- 47:44and just frivolously spending it
- 47:48like it's not yours because it isn't it is the taxpayer's money it is uncalled for and ridiculous
- 47:55so yes under biden the economy has been shit all right now let's talk abortion okay this is a hot
- 48:07topic you're never going to get a right wrong on this because this really comes down to be
- 48:11I mean, to being a moral issue, it seems like, than it does anything else.
- 48:16Okay.
- 48:17So I'm going to go ahead and just play this exchange right now.
- 48:22Staying on the topic of abortion, President Biden, seven states, I'll let you do that.
- 48:28This is the same topic.
- 48:29Seven states have no legal restrictions on how far into a pregnancy a woman can obtain an abortion.
- 48:36Do you support any legal limits on how late a woman should be able to terminate a pregnancy?
- 48:42I support Roe v. Wade, which had three trimesters.
- 48:46The first time is between the woman and the doctor.
- 48:48Second time is between the doctor and an extreme situation.
- 48:52The third time is between the doctor, I mean, between the woman and the state.
- 48:57The idea that the politicians, that the founders want the politicians to be the ones making decisions about women's health is ridiculous.
- 49:05That's the last. No politician should be making that decision.
- 49:08A doctor should be making those decisions.
- 49:10That's how it should be run. That's what you're going to do.
- 49:13And if I'm elected, I'm going to restore Roe v. Wade.
- 49:16So that means he can take the life of the baby in the ninth month and even after birth,
- 49:21because some states, Democrat-run, take it after birth.
- 49:25Again, the former governor of Virginia, put the baby down, then we decide what to do with it.
- 49:30So he's willing to, as we say, rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month and kill the baby.
- 49:37Nobody wants that to happen, Democrat or Republican.
- 49:40Nobody wants it to happen.
- 49:42Okay, what Trump is referring to is Virginia Democratic Governor Ralph Northam back in 2019,
- 49:48where he made a statement regarding late-term abortions.
- 49:53Here's a quote taken from a radio interview that he did,
- 49:56stating third trimester abortions are done in cases where there may be severe deformities.
- 50:03There may be a fetus that's non-viable. So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor,
- 50:08I can tell you exactly what would happen. Northam, a pediatric neurosurgeon, told Washington radio
- 50:14station WTOP the infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would
- 50:21be resuscitated if that's what the mother and family desired. And then a discussion would ensue
- 50:29between the physicians and the mother. So that was what he said. And I'm not sure if it's a direct
- 50:43support of late-term abortion, but it does leave it open to discussion where it comes down to, well,
- 50:51you know, there's a birth here, and if it's a non-viable birth, as in maybe they were stillborn
- 51:01and then resuscitated, but that's only if that's what the mother and father want,
- 51:06that's one decision to make there. Are we going to resuscitate this child, this newborn,
- 51:13if the newborn is severely deformed? I mean, there's a lot of things that are left out in
- 51:19the open. And then there were other things said, saying that they have to take into account
- 51:25the health and welfare of the mother, which is also including mental health.
- 51:31So that is what President Trump was referring to. Now, is it a direct correlation or direct
- 51:39statement that supports late-term abortions? I'm not so sure. But there are states that do have
- 51:47absolutely no term limits.
- 51:51And in the beginning, when the question was asked,
- 51:53it was stated that there were six states,
- 51:55I mean, seven states, but it's actually six states
- 51:57as well as Washington, D.C., the District of Columbia.
- 52:01And those states that do not have restrictions
- 52:04restrictions okay which means they don't have necessarily a term limit let me read these off
- 52:10here so there's oregon new mexico colorado vermont minnesota alaska and of course we have washington
- 52:22dc that all have no limits on abortion terms that is simply not true the roe v way does not
- 52:32provide for that. That's not the circumstance. Only woman's life is in danger. She's going to
- 52:36die. That's the only circumstance in which that can happen. But we are not for late-term abortion,
- 52:41period, period, period. Under Roe v. Wade, you have late-term abortion. You can do whatever you
- 52:48want, depending on the state. You can do whatever you want. We don't think that's a good thing. We
- 52:52think it's a radical thing. We think the Democrats are the radicals, not the Republicans.
- 52:56Again, good response, because as I just stated earlier, and in the beginning of the question,
- 53:00as it was stated, there are actually six states as well as the District of Columbia that have
- 53:04no limits on when an abortion can be done. Again, I'm not saying Biden's right or wrong
- 53:11in the context of this question and how he's answering it, but I do have to point that out.
- 53:1851 years, that was the law. 51 years, Constance of Scholarship said it was the right way to go.
- 53:2351 years, and it was taken away because this guy put very conservative members on the Supreme Court.
- 53:29He takes credit for taking it away.
- 53:31What's he going to do?
- 53:32What's he going to do?
- 53:33In fact, if the MAGA Republicans, he gets elected and the MAGA Republicans control the Congress and they pass a universal ban on abortion period across the board at six weeks or seven or eight or ten weeks, something very, very conservative.
- 53:48Is he going to sign that bill?
- 53:49I'll veto it.
- 53:50He'll sign it.
- 53:51Thank you.
- 53:52OK, so there you have it.
- 53:54I'm going to read a little bit more about what was going on with the term limit situation that wasn't really directly answered by Biden in and of itself.
- 54:04He just said, I support Roe v. Wade.
- 54:06And then he also pointed out that, well, if, you know, MAGA Republicans get into office and they're in charge,
- 54:13that they may have some crazy restriction as you can have an abortion past 10 weeks or whatever of course they going to have a restriction There should be restrictions on it There should be exceptions
- 54:26as well, but there should be restrictions on how late an abortion should be able to be administered,
- 54:33period. There was a case similar to Roe v. Wade, very related, which was Doe versus Bolton.
- 54:42and of course let me tie this back to what he said about he just supports Roe v. Wade I'm referring
- 54:49to Biden it says here that the legislation supported by Biden following the leak of the
- 54:55Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision in May 2022 would have liberalized
- 55:02abortion beyond Roe the bill would have created a statutory right to the procedure up until the
- 55:09point of viability and beyond that point if the doctor using, listen to this, good faith medical
- 55:17judgment determined that the procedure is necessary for the preservation of the life or health of the
- 55:22person who is pregnant. Okay, the bill's chief sponsor, Senator Tim Kaine, a Democrat from Virginia,
- 55:31said of the bill that there was a blurry line between the physical and mental health of a mother
- 55:36in the context of abortion.
- 55:38Supreme Court precedent also has liberal interpretation
- 55:42of what constitutes a health exception
- 55:45from the case of Doe v. Bolton,
- 55:48which says health can include physical, emotional,
- 55:51psychological, familial, and the woman's age.
- 55:55So there you have it.
- 55:56There are exceptions written in to Roe v. Wade
- 56:02based on the case of Doe v. Bolton,
- 56:06that takes into account that, well, if it comes down to the woman's health, which will include
- 56:14emotional, psychological, familial, I'm not really sure how that comes into play,
- 56:22and the woman's age, that there in fact could be a late-term abortion decision,
- 56:30basically an abortion decision after birth And so there you have it I not really sure where Joe stands I know where Trump stands but I have no idea where Joe stands as he wasn being very clear
- 56:45about what he supported in that circumstance or that situation when it comes to late-term abortions.
- 56:50I do know that there are multiple states that are democratically run that have no limits on when
- 56:57it is okay to administer abortion or not, including Washington, D.C., the District of Columbia.
- 57:05And so with that being said, I'm going to start closing this out because I just wanted to
- 57:08concentrate on those three points. I honestly could have dove way deeper and pulled out way
- 57:13more facts and articles, but this was my first initial response. This is my first reaction,
- 57:19response to what was going on here in this debate. And I got to tell you, if anything,
- 57:24look i don't think it was brilliant for either side i gotta say that this may be one of the best
- 57:31times i've seen a performance in terms of a debate from biden in a while in fact he hardly ever
- 57:39debates anyway so he didn't do as bad as i thought but he wasn't perfect whatsoever and
- 57:47it looks at times like he is literally a robot with a glitch like there's times where he seems
- 57:57so amped up and ready to go and then all of a sudden everything glitches and he just shuts down
- 58:01and sits there with a gaping open mouth looking into nothingness and that's not a good look for
- 58:07the country and that is just not a good position for the leader of the united states to be in
- 58:13look, Biden, it's time to hang it up.
- 58:16But listen, the people need to decide here,
- 58:19and I hope that they vote wisely.
- 58:22But again, as far as this debate goes,
- 58:24I'm not sure other side necessarily came out ahead.
- 58:27We need more debates between these two to really see,
- 58:30you know, how things are going to go
- 58:34and give us more information
- 58:36so that we can make an informed decision for the country.
- 58:39I'll tell you right now,
- 58:40I'm not leaning towards Biden whatsoever.
- 58:43But I do wish Trump himself would have went ahead and answered some of these questions differently with a little more depth and a little more facts behind it outside of just you know um basically throwing a blanket statement out there
- 59:00which were true and i've i pulled up facts to support but at the same time i think it would
- 59:09have been a better look for him if he was able to give more depth to his answers and bring up more
- 59:15facts to support his answers. And I do think he needs to also have a little bit of humility
- 59:21because Trump was not perfect in his presidency whatsoever. I mean, yes, his mouth did get the
- 59:28better of him at times, but between Joe and between Trump, it's pretty obvious that we were
- 59:35much better shape when Trump was president. And the last thing we need is an extension of this
- 59:41horrible, horrible state that we're in under Joe Biden.
- 59:47All right. That's all I got. Please like, please share,
