Day 69, Joe abandoning Americans behind enemy lines.
72 days.
I'm sorry, 82 days uh ago, he said he'd never do that.
Unbelievable.
Uh now Joe Biden is his numbers collapsing, now down a 37% in a poll that is outweighing Democrats over Republicans by a dramatic amount.
I think this poll only had 23% of Republicans.
Um anecdotally, this just kind of crossed my desk.
We get ratings, as you know, every night from television.
And Joe Biden, I guess, was on fake news CNN last night.
I've only seen the highlights.
I didn't watch the whole thing.
I was busy at the time.
It was up against my show.
But um anyway, it only had 1.2 million viewers.
Linda, that's total.
I can't believe that many people watched, to be perfectly frank with you.
Okay.
Honest to God.
It's serious, right?
I mean, who wants to watch Bumbling Biden?
Not me.
Okay, it was so bad that I frank, I'm just stunned by it.
I am I I it is an unbelievable failure, and I'll tell you why.
And it's also the things that he's saying.
And it's also the fact that everybody knows he's a cognitive mess, and everybody knows his policies are failing the country.
538.
Biden support, quote, plunging across all groups.
Over his first nine months in office, Biden has lost support among Americans of all stripes, men and women, African American voters, white voters, Hispanic voters, baby boomers and zoomers, even Democrats uh are disenchanted with Biden.
Uh two groups with whom Biden has lost supports really stand out.
Independence, Hispanic Americans, independents have soured on Biden to the extent that his approval ratings among this group uh are some of the worst of any president in the modern era.
Uh another interesting development today is Joe Manchin is now threatened to blow up the entire infrastructure negotiations.
He's had it.
He says, How about we spend zero dollars?
This was in the Hill today.
Uh apparently we're learning about this shouting match between the two of them.
And anyway, Manchin and Sanders get into this argument Wednesday during this, during which he said he's willing to abandon Joe Biden's social spending plan.
According to Sanders, Joe said I'm comfortable with spending nothing.
Manchin confirmed he said I'm comfortable with spending zero.
By the way, so am I, Joe.
Joe Manchin, if you can hear me, I that would be the better plan for the people of America.
We can't afford it.
I know it sounds great on paper, but you know, this is coming from the same party that can't even keep uh can't even keep safety and security in towns and cities all across the country.
Don't believe in law and order, that want to dismantle the police, the same people that you know pledge to keep your doctor plan and save money.
How did that work out for the people of West Virginia?
The same people that have destroyed our school system coast to coast, especially in states run by blue state governors for decades and mayors for decades.
And anyway, so we're gonna see what happens.
Uh apparently Chris Coons from uh we asked Coons from Delaware, I think.
Anyway, described the verbal quarrel as a vigorous 10-minute discussion.
And according to him, Manchin said we shouldn't do it at all.
Once he said this will contribute to inflation.
He's right.
We already passed the American rescue plan.
We should pass the infrastructure bill and pause for six months.
Yeah, that would be actually thoughtful and smart.
Rare for the Democratic Party.
So I don't know where this is going to end up.
This was their self-imposed daily uh uh deadline, by the way, for the Democrats.
Even the San Francisco Federal Reserve is blaming Biden for the for the inflation that's going on.
San Francisco Fed paper found Biden's uh American rescue plan playing a major role contributing to the spiking of inflation.
The economists estimated the plan would add 0.3 percentage points to the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, known as the personal consumption expenditures index in 2021, a bit more than than what they expect in 2022.
And they concluded that based on the size of Biden's spending package and historical evidence of fiscal stimulus impact on the market, this plan of Biden's could push the vacancy to unemployment ratio near its historical peak that took place in 1968.
That's how bad it is.
Jobless claims now falling because millions of workers have left the workforce, whopping 4.3 million quitting their jobs in August.
And if you think that's bad, you just wait.
You wait till this mandate kicks in, and we start losing thousands of cops and firemen and nurses and first responders and teachers and military personnel.
Hannity, you're encouraging them to not get the vaccine.
I'm not encouraging anything.
I've been encouraging people to take this damn thing seriously.
I know too many people dead because of it.
And I've seen the worst of it.
But you know, the thought of firing nurses and and and hospital workers and our military, all of whom during the worst moments of COVID, you know, were working in a COVID petri dish, diving on COVID grenades.
Why would we ever think about firing them or docking their pay?
You know, we we actually there are other creative ways to solve disagreements in life.
One obvious way to do it is what Joe initially said.
And that was okay, well, or you're gonna have to get tested once or twice a week.
Fine, give people the option.
I don't know why people make up I I don't know what goes into somebody's thinking.
I don't know if they have a rare medical condition.
I have no idea.
I don't know if they believe in natural immunity.
I don't know.
I'm not their doctor.
I don't know anything about their unique medical history, current condition.
That's up to them and the doctor to decide.
But to have one size fits all medicine, get the shot or you get fired.
What about the person with the rare condition whose doctor says you you don't belong taking the shot?
There are those people out there.
Why won't they at least creatively think of a way?
People, if you're that locked into this position that you're willing to lose your income, lose your benefits, lose your retirement.
You you know, obviously you feel pretty passionately about it.
And I think the the battle, the debate over vax or not vax is over because these people are indicating they're willing to sacrifice everything job-wise, because of what they believe.
Whether you disagree or not, that's it.
That's irrelevant at this point.
That's how far they are willing to go because this is what they believe.
You may not like it, but it's just the reality.
And to add this now, this the loss of these key, key professions would be an unmitigated disaster on top of everything else that we're going through.
Anyway, so in this kiss-ass uh town hall with Anderson Cooper, you know, Biden, you know, with his fists clenched during the entire length of a question for no apparent reason.
There was so many bizarre moments.
Biden at one point grabbed Anderson Cooper's arm and squeezed it.
What about social distancing, Joe?
While answering a question from him.
Biden dropped into his, you know, trademark whisper.
He goes into whisper when he discusses the tax cuts.
We have a montage of the whisper.
Listen.
I'm not suggesting that.
But they didn't build America.
It was built by the middle class.
And unions built the middle class.
You know, I notice when you all do that, everybody benefits.
Whether they belong to a union or not.
Whether they belong to a union or not.
Employers can't find workers.
I said, Yeah.
Pay them more.
This is an employees.
Employees bargaining chip now.
What's happening?
I got them.
One point nine trillion dollars relief so far.
They're gonna be getting checks in the mail that are consequential this week for child care.
The bill on the environment.
Why would I not be for it?
Get vaccinated.
Get vaccinated.
Okay, Joe.
All right.
This is getting bizarre.
But now is new trademark whisper.
Biden calling climate change an existential threat to humanity, saying if the world didn't keep the global temperature increase below 1.5 degrees Celsius, we're done.
That's not a joke, man.
Come on, man.
You know, for he forgot exactly what he was uh going uh when he was going to the climate conference in Scotland saying, Oh, I've lost track of time.
Then he also forgot until uh Anderson Cooper had to bail them out, and we got all these these cargo ships off the coast of uh Los Angeles and um and Los Angeles and oh it's oh what am I doing here?
I was able to go to the private portion with 40% of all products coming into the United States of America on the West Coast, go through uh Los Angeles and uh and uh um uh um what am I doing here?
Is it Long Beach?
Long Beach, thank you.
Long Beach, yeah.
Oh, we got the assist.
Give a big assist for Anderson.
He gave him the answer.
That was nice of him.
Biden forgot exactly what all of this stuff.
Almost an hour into the event, Biden realized that the two Maryland senators and the mayor of Baltimore were sitting in the audience.
It turned out that it wasn't the mayor, it was a local congressman.
Both men are African Americans.
Imagine if that was Donald Trump.
Biden made an odd racially charged remark about how his son Bo would go to the east side of town where the best basketball is played and sit down and meet those folks.
And then Biden, you know, back to scolding and mocking unvaccinated Americans, saying that they felt they had the freedom to kill others with their COVID.
Okay, this guy's lost his mind.
Then you want to talk about the policies.
That's just how screwed up he is.
You know, he's claiming that he visited the southern border.
That's another lie again.
And Peter Ducey again today called out Gensaki on it.
It's a lie.
Biden admitting that he kept Title 42 in place because of the high rates of COVID in nations where migrants are coming from.
Oh, okay.
Biden said, is that is that a travel ban, by the way?
Is that a xenophobic?
His hysterical racist travel ban.
Anyway, Biden said the first responders who refuse the COVID vaccine should be fired.
Okay, when Chicago loses over a thousand cops, come back and tell us how that worked out for you, Joe.
Because it's not going to work out well.
Now, the vax don't vax debate.
That's not what we're discussing right now.
But if you have people so locked into the view, they're not getting it.
They're not going to be bribed into it.
They're willing to lose their careers, their income, their benefits, their pension.
They're willing to give it all up.
And these are essential workers in hospitals in our medical system on our nurses and first responders and the teachers that teach our kids and the policemen that try to keep us safe uh in even in cities that hate them, uh, and then firemen, same thing, and our military personnel.
This will be an unmitigated disaster.
If he stays here.
And then Biden asked about, well, what about the high price of gasoline?
Well, he doesn't foresee gas prices coming down uh for at least another year, claiming they were high only because OPEC was holding American hostage.
No, that's the dumbest ass answer I've ever heard.
It's because he put in energy policies that removed America's supply from the world's equation.
Artificially reducing the supply, the demand remains consistent uh consistent.
That means we're gonna be paying hundred bucks uh a hundred dollars a barrel of oil, and everything we pay for costs more because of him.
It's not OPEC.
It's not it's not even Russia.
It's you, Joe.
And admitting inflation would continue, even if his idiotic new green deal build back better socialism bills aren't passed.
He's just he doesn't know the first thing about economics.
Biden has said that Americans are generally depressed by the pandemic, among other things.
Their proms were canceled.
Wow.
Well, you're not gonna get 15 colors, but you'll get what you want.
Oh, the tragedy of the treadmill.
Their proms were canceled.
I mean, they have such just dripping contempt for we the people.
Biden said the fear of COVID is keeping people from going back to work.
That's not that's not true.
Good grief.
Biden said the time will eventually come to fundamentally alter the filibuster And approve the carve out for voting rights and other issues.
Of course he's trying to do it.
By the way, majority of voters support Mansion and Cinema and their standoff with the White House.
Nearly two-thirds of likely voters say it's important that cinema and mansion oppose Joe Biden's agenda.
Wow.
We'll continue.
Quick break, right back.
We'll continue.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.

MyPillow.com.
Sean Hannity Square.
Unbelievable.
All right, so have all these crazy moments.
This is a train wreck what happened last night.
Now, nobody even wants to see it because it's too painful to watch, which is why nobody watched it.
I mean, it's almost as low-rated as most late-night TV so-called comedy shows that are dull as dirt.
Anyway, Biden, you know, he has no answer for high gas prices.
I have answers.
Go to Texas, Oklahoma, Alaska, North Dakota, and West Virginia.
And start producing our own energy.
And we'll start having low gas prices and energy prices like we did under Trump.
When he's talking about the supply chain crisis, uh what am I what am I doing here?
And then Anderson Cooper needs to jump in and bail him out.
By the way, there's no evidence that Biden ever visited the border.
He just lied.
Peter Deucey brought this up with uh never not so happy circle back propaganda as Gensaki today.
You know, then he's mocking the unvaccinated, claiming that they believe they have the freedom.
Listen to this.
Claims they believe they have the freedom to kill you.
I'm gonna play all this at the time in the next half hour, right after the news.
Mocking people who say they're making the COVID vaccine a political issue.
Freedom.
I have the freedom to kill you with my COVID.
No.
I mean, come on, freedom.
Wow.
This is getting really scary.
Uh anyway, he appeared pretty unhealthy at times.
You know, I I'm a didn't look good to me.
And he talks about getting rid of the filibuster.
Pledges to defend Taiwan if China attacks.
You mean like you were not going to leave any Americans behind in Afghanistan, Joe?
Yeah, we could have pressed him on that last night, too.
He takes seven questions from Democrats, two from Republicans, only 12 participants.
Sean's got more behind-the-scenes information.
more contacts than anybody.
More friends behind the curtain.
Sean Hannity is on.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
By the way, Joe did mention that he was vice president for 36 years last night.
In case you missed it.
A lot of the folks in Amtrak became my family.
Not a joke.
I'd ride every day.
I I commuted every single day for 36 years as president, vice president of the United States after my wife and daughter were killed.
I went home to see my family never stopped going doing that.
Oh, 36 years as vice president.
All right, that's that I'm being nitpicky there.
All right, fair enough.
Then this is crucial.
Now we're in the middle of an of a shortage in the workforce.
We're now post defund dismantle the police and massive cuts to police departments all around the country.
A city like Chicago will lose over a thousand police officers, it's estimated.
And the mandate does not allow for any exceptions, no religious exemptions, no rare condition exemptions, no belief in following the science of natural immunity exemptions.
No, one size fits all medicine.
They won't even allow people the option of getting tested.
Now, this this isn't about vax don't vax.
This is about thousands and thousands of military, police, teachers, nurses, medical workers, frontline emergency workers, firemen, and all these other professions.
They're going to quit their jobs, lose their income, give up their benefits, and lose their pension.
Because that's how passionately they feel about their position.
Again, I'm not having the vax don't fax debate here.
I'm just telling you what they're saying.
And originally, we heard, let's go back in history here.
Because people like Pelosi and Fauci and Biden, they're all out there saying, no, no, no, we we don't I'll never mandate a vaccine.
Never mandate a vaccine.
That's what they said.
Listen.
No, I don't think it should be mandatory.
I wouldn't demand to be mandatory.
Perhaps the federal government should step in and issue mandates, and if not, are you putting the needs of unvaccinated people ahead of the needs of vaccinated people?
Well, I think the question here, one that's not the role of the federal government.
Um, that is the role that institutions, private sector entities uh and others may take.
We cannot require someone to be vaccinated.
That's just not what we can do.
I am all for um more vaccination.
Um, but uh, you know, I I have nothing further to say on that except that we're looking into those policies.
And and quite honestly, as people are doing that locally, um, those are those are individual local decisions as well.
I don't think you'll ever see a mandating of vaccine, particularly for the general public.
Amazing what the mob in the media won't tell you, isn't it?
Now Joe Biden supports police, first responders.
That would include nurses, even military.
By the way, they're not only talking about military people being discharged, they want it to be a dishonorable discharge.
As if they did, you know, as if there was some horrible thing they did.
Maybe they're just listening to their doctor and following their doctor's science.
It may shock people, but not every doctor agrees with Dr. Joe Biden and Dr. TV commentator ABC and D and Dr. Radio commentators, you know, X, Y, and Z. Because Fauci's been more wrong than anybody.
Here's Biden supporting first responders getting fired.
Should police officers, emergency responders be mandated to get vaccines, and if not, should they be stay at home or let go?
Yes and yes.
Uh by the way, I waited until uh July to talk about mandating because I tried everything else possible.
The mandates are working.
All the stuff about people leaving and people goodness.
You have you have everyone for United Airlines to spare all these airlines.
We're not going to get all 96, 97% of the people have gotten the vaccine.
All the talk about all these folks who are going to leave the military if they're mandated.
Not true.
You got about a 90-some percent vaccination rate.
I mean, so there's a the idea is that uh look.
The two things that concern me.
One are those who just try to make this a political issue.
Freedom.
I have the freedom to kill you with my COVID.
No, I mean, come on.
Freedom.
Oh man.
Junkie.
Come on, man.
You're junkie.
Free or the freedom to kill you.
That's not what people are saying, Joe.
Now you did originally say that you'd give people an option to test.
And by the way, I I know he finds it mildly fascinating that Fox News mandates vaccinations.
Well, Joe, I work at Fox News.
You couldn't be more wrong with that lie either.
Because they give people the option to be tested at the Fox News channel.
You know, uh, just in case facts ever matter to people.
Look, the only reason I am I'm trying to find a solution here.
Because I believe many thousands and thousands of key workers in key industries, including our health care industry, including our military, including our police departments, including our our teachers, our education of our kids, because there's so many of them.
Why don't we go back to the mantra, follow the science?
And the science of testing, I thought they believed it.
They've got home tests now.
Abbott has them.
They're like 98, 99% effective.
One of my friends that had a breakthrough case, fully vaccinated.
He found out he had COVID by taking a home test, and then he got it confirmed in a lab.
And then he got regenerated and he went fishing for the next 10 days and sent his family away, and he said he's never been happier.
And he's showing me all the striped bass he's catching.
By the way, they're catching tuna fish near the Statue of Liberty, bluefin tuna, 600 pounds.
It's like wicked tuna in New York.
I can't believe it.
Uh then we've got Joe Biden saying he's open to eliminating the filibuster on voting rights.
Okay, listen.
But I also think we're gonna have to move to the point where we fundamentally alter the filibuster.
But but are you saying uh once you get this current uh agenda passed on uh spending and social programs that you would be open to fundamentally altering the filibuster or doing away with it?
Or doing away with it?
Well, that remains to be seen.
Exactly what that means in terms of fundamentally altering it, whether or not we just end the filibuster straight up.
Um, there's certain things that are just sacred rights.
One's a sacred obligation that we never gonna renege on a debt.
We're the only nation in the world.
We have never ever reneged on a single debt.
But when it comes to voting rights, voting right consequential.
When it comes to voting rights, just so I'm clear though, you would entertain the notion of doing away with the filibuster on that one issue.
Is that correct?
And maybe more, and maybe other issues.
All right, so there's the power grab.
And then he had to admit, well, if I can change the filibuster, I lose three votes right now.
Then he claims repeatedly he's been to the border.
And but he's been too busy to go as president.
What do you mean he calls a lid on most days?
He does nothing but sleep all weekend, most weekends.
And by the way, Pete Peter Ducy called out Gensaki about his lie again today.
Listen to this exchange.
Okay, following up on something else the president said last night.
Why did President Biden say he has been to the border?
Well, Peter, uh, as you may have seen, there's been uh reporting that he uh did drive through the border when he was on the campaign trail in 2008, and he is certainly familiar with the fact, and it stuck with him with the fact that uh in El Paso uh the border goes right through the center of town to the border to know what a mess was left by the last administration.
That's his view.
Does that count as a visit?
He said I've been there before.
You're saying he drove by for a few minutes.
Does that count?
What do you what is the root cause?
Where are people coming from who are coming to the border, Peter?
The president said they're not.
I'm asking I'm asking you a question because I think people should understand the context.
Where do people where do people come asking you?
Okay, I'll answer it for you.
People come from Central America and Mexico to go to the border.
The president has been to those countries ten times to talk about border issues.
There is a focus right now on a photo op.
The president does not believe a photo op is the same as solutions.
But he said that maybe a difference he has with Republicans.
That's not what he said either.
He said, I guess I should go down.
So does he think that he needs a photo op?
Is that what he's saying?
He doesn't.
So she won't answer the question because he lied.
But they lie all the time.
Oh, we're not giving COVID tests to illegal immigrants because uh they're not going to be here very long.
Oh no, no. 4 a.m. flight in the morning, dumping people in, you know, uh you obscure airports all around the country.
No, no, no.
We're not we're not bringing people into cities in the dark of the night.
Yes, they are.
We call that an early morning flight.
They just lie.
This is a high class problem, the supply chain problem.
You need to go shopping earlier if you want to get toys for your children for Christmas.
You know, the tragedy of the treadmill.
Unbelievable.
You're not going to get what you want in 15 colors, but you might get the at least you'll get a coat if you're lucky.
Oh.
Not the America I know.
Uh then we've got uh Joe Biden saying inflation's gonna last if we don't make certain investments.
By the way, the word investment means spend money.
And then the lie about, oh, it's not gonna cost us a penny to spend 3.5 trillion dollars.
Listen.
You had told uh us at a town hall, I think it was in July, that the this was just near-term inflation.
The Wall Street Journal recently talked to like 67 uh financial experts who said that they they saw high inflation going all the way or deep into 2022.
Do you think it's gonna last for a while?
I I don't think so.
I don't think it will last if depending on what we do, if we stay exactly where we are, yes.
If we don't make these investments, yes.
Yes.
Okay.
Then he blames OPEC for the high price of oil.
He's the guy that shut down the Keystone XL pipeline, exploration in Anwar in Alaska, and he's the one that is pledging that he's gonna get off all oil gas uh coal in this country.
He artificially reduced the world supply, but he's blaming OPEC because OPEC won't listen to him and increase the demand that he wants when we have more resources than they do.
Listen.
What about gas prices?
Because it's something interesting.
Gas prices relate to a farm policy initiative that is about something that goes beyond the the cost of gas.
And we're about 330 a gallon most places that now when it's up from was down in a single digits.
I mean it's a dollar plus.
And uh and that's because of the supply being withheld by OPEC.
And so there's a lot of negotiation that is there's a lot of Middle Eastern folks want to talk to me.
I'm not sure I'm gonna talk to them, but the point is it's about gas production.
It's not OPEC's fault, Joe.
The world supply was reduced by you and your capitulation to new Green Deal radical socialism.
You abolished energy independence.
That's your decision.
Well, you did kiss Putin's ass and give him a waiver so he can build his pipeline, which is making the hostile regime of Russia and the hostile actor Putin rich again.
And you say you're gonna defend Taiwan?
What, like you defended Americans that you promised you wouldn't leave behind 13 days before you left them behind?
Now they're walking back this uh uh promise to use the National Guard on the supply chain issue.
There's one gas station in Gordon, California, 759 a gallon in that town.
Other places in California, well over five bucks a gallon for gasoline.
And and Joe even said last night uh that he doesn't have a near-term solution to reducing gas prices, but I do.
Go back to the Trump energy independence pro policies.
And now all of this is gonna get worse because we're not gonna have workers because Joe's gonna fire them with his vaccine mandate.
Let's see how well that works when cops are fired, nurses, you know, when that when nurses are fired.
I'm telling you, and they're gonna lose a lot of these cases in court.
By the way, today was the day they're supposed to have their deadline of self-imposed deadline for a deal.
Not gonna happen.
None there's not a single solid oh, well, there was a funny moment.
Nadler was sleeping during the Garland hearing.
That was pretty funny.
You should show that on TV tonight.
You know, and that they just want to blame Joe Manchin.
America in this poll, they want Joe Manchin and Kristen Cinema to continue to stand strong.
By the way, Republicans are pressing Attorney General Garland.
He was another disaster yesterday.
To appoint a special prosecutor for Hunter.
I think the reason I think the entire Biden syndicate family is compromised by Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Ukraine.
You know, now we're going to fire these police officers and nurses and firemen and healthcare workers and armed forces.
It's unreal.
Shipping companies warning Biden the vaccine mandates will, quote, wreak havoc on the holiday supply chain.
Cargo air shipping companies warning the White House what will happen.
It will be an unmitigated disaster.
That that mandate is December 8th.
Federal contractors, that includes UPS and FedEx cannot have their employees opt out of the vaccine mandate.
Oh, and yeah, everything that we told you about Dr. Fauci and the NIH, his NIH funding the Wuhan Virology Lab for gain of function research was true.
