The New Norm - June 13th, Hour 1

Americans are falling into accepting the "new norm" which includes higher taxes, higher gas prices and a failing economy.   Sadly, it seems that the Biden policies are failing so why haven't we reversed course yet?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

	And I'm Ted Cruz.
	Three times a week we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
	Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.

	And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
	We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
	So Dell a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
	Day 303, 316 days since Joey, your president promised that he would not abandon Americans or our Afghan allies or people with green cards behind.
	Now we're finding out the New York Post reporting over the weekend that in fact thousands of former U.S. AIDS abandoned by Joe Biden in Afghanistan 33 days ago, and he's turned the page, never talked about it again.
	But the New York Post reports five weeks before the Taliban captured Kabul, President Joe Biden told the American people, quote, Afghan nationals who work side by side with U.S. forces would not be abandoned by America.
	There's a home for you in the U.S. if you so choose, and we will stand with you just as you stood with us.
	Biden's commitment to Afghans who place their lives in danger, translators, women's rights advocates, civil uh society leaders.
	Yeah, they were all abandoned.
	And nearly a year after the U.S. departure, uh 240,000 Afghans still waiting for special immigrant visas and refugees and humanitarian uh parole application, they're not forthcoming.
	And then the stories of people being killed, and then the old the old Taliban is back.
	The old Taliban is now the new Taliban.
	Women can't work, girls can't go to school.
	What a shock.
	What a surprise.
	And it'll be a safe haven for terrorists.
	Uh anyway, thanks for being with us.
	You know what's sick about our media?
	I'm I could spend a lot of time on this.
	We have Mike Lee on later.
	He wrote a really terrific book, Saving Nine, The Fight Against the Left's Audacious Plan to Pack the Supreme Court and destroy American Liberty.
	But anyway, except for Fox News Sunday, do you think one of the Sunday shows, not one of them, ABC, CBS, MBC, fake news CNN, not one of them even mentioned last week's attempted assassination of a Supreme Court justice.
	They all they wanted to talk about was January 6th.
	You know, none of these people, these same people that just I love my these images we have of cities on fire in the background, and and there's a fake news CNN or MSDNC reporter.
	It's mostly peaceful.
	Behind them, the place is burning to the ground.
	You know, dozens dead, thousands of cops injured, billions in property damage.
	Well, no, we're not gonna look into that.
	Anyway, it's so predictable.
	Um, and this is another thing.
	You know, Donald Trump, when he was president, and this I think is a little bit interesting, just as a side note, not that we're gonna spend as I said a lot of time on this.
	You know, you go back, and I I saw was it Joe Scarborough, I think it was him this morning, and I saw an article about it.
	And anyway, so he's he's out there saying, well, Donald Trump's the apprentice, you know, only got seven celebrity apprentices only got seven point nine million viewers, and and twenty million people watched Liz Cheney.
	Liz Cheney was on every channel.
	The celebrity apprentice was on one.
	I mean, you if you want to compare apples to apples, uh Trump's State of the Union address in 2017 was 42.7 million.
	In 2018, 40.5 million.
	In 2019, 42.2 million.
	It is lowest was 33.8 million in 2020.
	I'm like, you want to compare apples to apples?
	Meaning, if you you can't compare one network when all three networks, every other channel is covering this stupid thing, except thankfully Fox.
	Although we did cover it on Fox Business, Fox Nation, Fox News.com.
	If you wanted it, you could find it.
	It's unbelievable.
	Look, this is a moment where we've got to understand more deeply what is going on inside of the minds of the left.
	The left has become very authoritarian, but more importantly, they have now married their entire agenda to this climate alarmism and that is now a religious cult for them.
	Because the normal way to react to high gas prices, one record after another record after another record.
	Gas now, on average, over the weekend, we passed the $5 mark, and today the average price of a gallon of gasoline is $5.10 per gallon.
	Diesel is costing you more.
	And that means every trucker that that fills up a load in their 18-wheeler and takes it to whatever store and drops their products off at that store.
	Every store you go to, you're going to pay more for everything that you buy.
	I mean, it's just now this is the reality.
	So you would think, well, logical people would say, okay, these policies are not working.
	This is hurting the American people, especially the poor middle class people on fixed incomes.
	They are real really suffering here.
	They cannot afford a 42-year high of inflation.
	They can't afford $5.10 a gallon.
	You know, it was the average person that commutes all year was going to pay an extra $2,000.
	Now we're up to what?
	$2200 a year, $2300 a year, more than you paid last year.
	Joe Biden inherits a gallon of gasoline was $2.39 a gallon.
	Let's go back to the good old days.
	But anyway, that's what it costs.
	Average U.S. price, regular grade gasoline goes up 39% over the last three weeks.
	It's now on average $5.10 a gallon.
	So you ask yourself, well, why haven't these people reverse course?
	Now, then this is gets even more strange.
	Why is Joe?
	He's on again, off again.
	I don't know if I'm going to Saudi Arabia.
	I'm going to Saudi Arabia.
	I'm not sure if I'm going to Saudi Arabia.
	I'm going, but I'm probably not going to talk about oil with Saudi Arabia.
	I mean, he can't make up his mind.
	This administration is flipping and flopping and flailing.
	I don't know because OPEC probably rejected him 20 separate times.
	All these countries now don't even want to take Joe Biden's call.
	So again, it goes to a simple question.
	For these climate alarmists, and they're worried about Mother Earth.
	And tell me the difference if the oil comes from Russia, Iran, Venezuela, OPEC nations, Saudi Arabia.
	What difference does that make to the to Mother Earth where you drill the oil?
	If anything, because we have enough resources domestically, we don't need to import one barrel of oil.
	Although it would be nice to finish the Keystone XL pipeline, and we get 900,000 barrels of Canadian oil every single day flowing through that pipeline.
	And that would probably help reduce the price of gasoline, maybe not significantly, but it could put a little dent in it.
	You want to know why inflation is so high?
	um This is now going to result, these issues, it's the economy stupid.
	And their policies have caused this.
	But it's deeper than that.
	Because now you have to have why won't they change course?
	Now, what's the definition of insanity?
	You know, you do the same thing over and over and over and over and over again and expect a different result.
	They will not budge.
	They are so wedded to this climate alarmist cult, this new Green Deal socialist cult.
	Joe Biden is so afraid of the base of his party.
	He dare not move one inch towards energy independence again.
	But he can do a deal with Iran, and he can make with the Iranian mules rich again, and that that thug murdering dictator in Venezuela rich again, and he can make the Saudis rich again and the OPEC nations rich again and Russia's getting rich again.
	And we're stupid because we've got more resources with gas and oil than these countries combined.
	We would we wouldn't have to rely on them.
	That's good for national security.
	We'd create high-paying career jobs for so many Americans.
	That's good for American workers.
	We now would put a big huge dent in the price of gasoline because we'd dramatically increase the world supply.
	That would drive down the price.
	As you drive down the price, that reduces the price of everything that we're paying for in every store that we're going to, and that would ease the inflationary pressures we now we are now feeling, especially with the Fed now talking about a three-quarter percent basis point increase on Wednesday.
	But interest rates are going up again.
	This is not serving the American people well at all.
	Um by the way, and now we got food problems emerging.
	One thing uh I have learned a lot from our audience.
	Truckers, I've learned a lot from them.
	I've learned a lot.
	All these farmers that have been calling this program have taught me something.
	A food shortage likelihood is far greater than I think anyone's given any attention to.
	It really is now the food inflation has widened.
	There's a great piece in the New York Post about the food prices, you know, are gonna keep climbing with no end in sight.
	Here's why.
	Because they don't have enough fertilizer, they don't have enough seeds, they don't have the ability to fix their equipment that breaks down, if a tractor breaks down, whatever equipment that farmers are using.
	And so what what what's their next alternative but to raise prices or shut down because as soon as they're not gonna make money, they're not gonna work.
	As soon as truckers now with their feeling inflationary pressures, they're paying a thousand, two thousand dollars more a week, depending how many miles they're putting on their rig uh every week.
	That that cost has to get passed on to the consumer.
	Trucking companies, they're not gonna take a cut.
	Dispatches aren't gonna take a cut.
	Truck drivers don't want to take a cut, and they shouldn't have to take a cut.
	Real wages down three percent on an annual basis because of the inflation increase last week.
	Uh by the way, inflation's gonna crank crank up your air conditioning bill this this summer.
	You know, it will translate in you know, to five hundred and forty, one estimate came out, may consumer price index.
	Anyway, that that's five hundred and forty dollars an estimate increase electric bills for the average American household, and that's only from June and August.
	I mean, that's up dramatically from just a year ago.
	And again, what we're gonna how does it impact Mother Earth differently if we bake the Saudis, the Venezuelan?
	It doesn't.
	None of this makes sense, except that we have some very stupid people that would rather make the world's dictators and thugs rich again than be energy independent.
	It'd be good for national security, good for job creation, good to lower inflation, you know, good to ease ease the uh the the pressures that every American's family, two-thirds of Americans now living paycheck to paycheck, but the commerce secretary is claiming Biden's very serious about bringing down gas prices.
	No, he's not serious.
	Now they're talking about brownouts, blackouts all over the the country potentially this summer.
	You know, Biden seems to praise high gas prices as an incredible transition.
	Let's take you back in time, shall we?
	Joe Biden.
	Now, Donald Trump and Joe Biden were debating, and this is six.
	And he Trump in this points out, whoa, you're gonna get rid of fossil fuels?
	Pay attention to what he's saying here.
	Listen.
	Would he close down the oil industry?
	Would you close down the oil?
	I would transition from the oil industry, yes.
	Oh, that's what we're gonna do.
	It is a big statement.
	That's because I would stop why would you do that?
	Because the oil industry pollutes significantly.
	I said, but if you let me finish the statement, because it has to be replaced by renewable energy over time.
	Over time.
	And I'd stop giving to the oil industry, I'd stop giving them federal subsidies.
	You won't give federal subsidies to the to the gas, excuse me, to the to uh solar and wind.
	Yeah.
	Why are we giving it to oil industry?
	We actually do give it to solar and wind.
	We have maybe the biggest statement in terms of business.
	That's the biggest basically what he's saying is he is going to destroy the oil industry.
	Will you remember that Texas?
	We remember that Pennsylvania, Oklahoma.
	And then he predicted gas will go to seven, eight, nine dollars a gallon.
	Listen.
	We have more oil than anybody, okay?
	And it's uh an incredible thing that it's happened over the last few years, a lot of great things, and you're paying what, two dollars a gallon for your gasoline.
	That's okay.
	You know what that's like?
	That's like a tax cut.
	That's bigger than a tax cut.
	If Biden got in, you'd be paying $7, $8, $9, didn't they say get rid of your car?
	Okay, get rid of your car.
	Now, when we come back, I'll play Biden telling us he was gonna do all of this.
	Because now that he's doing it, now these are the predictable results.
	You think he's gonna go back?
	You think AOC and the Democratic Socialist Party and the climate cult alarmists are gonna let him go back?
	Music All right, so I played for you the debate segment when Joe Biden said he was gonna close the uh oil industry down, and then we had Donald Trump predict, yeah, Biden's president, yeah, gas is gonna go to seven, eight, nine dollars a gallon.
	Uh but nobody paid attention to Joe Biden's own words.
	We did listen.
	This was in the campaign the few moments he left the bunker.
	We don't stop getting fossil fuels.
	We're all dead.
	Doing away with any subsidies for fossil fuels, number one.
	Number two, holding them a liable for what they have done, particularly in those cases where you're underserved neighborhoods and you you know the deal.
	Okay.
	And by the way, when they don't, or when they're deliberate, we'll put them in jail.
	You know, I want you to just take a look, okay?
	You don't have to agree.
	But I want you to look in my eyes.
	I guarantee you, I guarantee you, we're gonna end fossil fuel, and I am not gonna cooperate with it, okay.
	Would there be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking in a Biden administration?
	No, it would be we would we would work it out.
	We would make sure it's eliminated.
	Eliminate it and all fossil fuels.
	So, Joe, so this has been the plan.
	This is the religious cult.
	This is the agenda.
	Uh, anybody that thinks for a second that they democrats don't want this, this happened.
	Uh out of their hands, they can't control this.
	None of that is true.
	You know, they can claim all they want.
	Vladimir Putin caused this.
	No, Vladimir Putin did not cause this.
	And we've shown the graphs on television again and again and again and again.
	Fuel prices went up dramatically because of the policies that removed us from being energy independent and a net exporter of energy.
	So I'm just tired of being lied to.
	Anyway, 800, 941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
	Quick break, right back, and we'll continue.
	Hey there.
	I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
	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.
	Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
	I'm Ben Ferguson, and I'm Ted Cruz.
	Three times a week we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
	Nationwide, we have millions of listeners every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
	We break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
	And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
	We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
	So Down verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
	All right, 25 now until the top of the hour, 800, 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	Um, so much is uh is every you gotta understand when you get to this point, it's now June 13th, and maybe it seems like in some people's minds the midterms are are very far away, they're not that far away.
	You're gonna blast through blow through the summer, next thing you'll know, here's Labor Day.
	You know, you'll take your summer vacations, you'll see your family, you get a little rest, relaxation, hopefully.
	And I don't know if people are going to be traveling like they maybe plan because of this record high inflation and people, two-thirds of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, and then Labor Day comes, and then we're gonna be very focused on the election.
	Democrats, you know, assuming the leaked version of a repeal of Roe, if that be it in fact becomes the final opinion, which I would assume it will.
	Uh, all right, so they'll run on abortion, but Americans, by the time November comes around, they'll figure out abortion's still legal in America.
	I don't think that's gonna have the impact the Democrats are hoping for.
	Uh they're they're hoping that on the issue of the second amendment and second amendment rights, Joe Biden is saying this has got to be a big election issue.
	Okay, so they think they're gonna run on that.
	Obviously, they're trying to make January 6th into the the biggest issue of of all time.
	Everybody knows about January 6th at this point.
	There's nothing we learned new the other night, and for the people what I've read about today, it was another is a snooze fest.
	And this is just everybody sees this for what it is, a very partisan, seemed like the only criteria that was needed for you to be on the committee was to have voted to impeach Trump.
	All right, so it's now a second impeachment hearing about Trump and January 6th.
	Okay, got it.
	Understand, that's politics.
	That's not going to get them, I don't think a single vote.
	When when people vote, they usually vote on two big issues: peace and prosperity.
	Now, in terms of America's position in the world after 303 days ago, abandoning Americans uh behind enemy lines and the Islamic emirates of Afghanistan.
	Uh, you couple that with the war in Europe, which by the way, is not going well right now for the Ukrainians.
	And I'm gonna tell you why.
	Um I blame Europe, I blame NATO nations, because they didn't step up with the weaponry that was needed for Zelensky to win the war.
	If they would have given it to him early, including the U.S., give them enough equipment to win the war.
	We don't fight wars to win wars anymore.
	Get all gung-ho.
	We start wars, you know, we fight them half-assed, you don't fight to win them, and then they get politicized, and then you say, never mind, and then how much of our national treasure did we lose in the process?
	That can't be that can't happen anymore.
	But the other thing, so people are gonna look at the average price of a gallon of gasoline, and I promise you, by the time election day rolls around, uh, all of these comments, Biden's war on fossil fuels, I'm gonna end fossil fuels, I'm gonna eliminate fossil fuels, uh, I'm gonna close the oil industry.
	He said all of this.
	And Donald Trump, you know, called them out and said, Yeah, well, then if you if these policies, America, pay attention, you'll be paying seven, eight, nine dollars a gallon, uh, so eventually you get rid of your card.
	Now, there's no propensity at all to do the smart thing.
	Now, if you're president and under your watch, the price of a gallon of gasoline goes up 140%, and everything that everybody buys at every store they go to is up dramatically.
	And the average American family, this is now the $6,000 average American household Biden inflation tax that Americans can't afford based on just last year, never mind since the beginning of his presidency.
	It's it's the prosperity part of what motivates people to vote in elections.
	Now, this is an opportunity for Republicans if they couple these issues, if you look at everything in total, and you look at the the you look at the 41-year high of inflation, you look at the price of gasoline, you look at every store you go to, everything costs more, and then you add that to oh,
	the biggest caravan to date is marching towards our border, and in all likelihood, all Biden is gonna do is let people not enforce the laws, let people break our laws, enter the country illegally.
	He's gonna process them.
	He's not gonna have any background checks, no health checks in the middle of a pandemic, uh, no means tests, you know, whether people will be a burden of on the American people, we can't afford it.
	That's not gonna happen.
	And so Biden will allow that to happen.
	It'll give them a free Biden phone, and then transportation in the dark at night to I guess the city, the state of their choice, and then those cities, you know, or then pretty much forced because it's of the policies of the federal government not enforcing the law to take care of people.
	And it's now putting a burden on our educational system, our criminal justice system, it's putting a burden on our health care system.
	We're paying for all of this.
	And people are gonna look at that too, and they're gonna realize you know what, we had secure borders.
	You know what?
	I did like two dollar a gallon gasoline or two thirty nine or whatever two twenty it was at any given point in time.
	And Americans are not going to take this.
	We're better than this.
	If these predicted brownouts happen and blackouts happen or whatever, whatever's gonna happen with the power grid that many people are predicting very well could happen this summer, that's not gonna go over well with the American people either.
	You know, and and this this line of the Biden administration that they're doing everything in their power, they're not doing everything in their power.
	Begging Saudi Arabia and OPEC and Iran and Venezuela is not doing everything in your power to lower the price of a gallon of gasoline.
	You could bring back the Keystone XL pipeline.
	Why won't they?
	Ask yourself, why won't they?
	They're willing to do deals with countries that will drill for oil.
	You gotta ask yourself, why won't they drill for that oil here?
	So we don't have to rely on them, especially the countries that hate us.
	Why are we making those countries rich again?
	Why are we creating high paying career jobs in this country?
	Why aren't we energy independent?
	Great for national security, great for job creation, great to lower the record high inflation that we have.
	Why aren't they doing that?
	And the only answer I can come out come up with is they care about their religious cult than they do about you and your your family.
	Um Obama's Treasury Secretary, Lawrence Summers, he's not been wrong so far.
	He's been dead on accurate.
	Says Biden's Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen is wrong.
	He says, I think the optimists were wrong a year ago, and he said it, uh, in saying that we have no inflation, that it's transitory.
	I think they're wrong now, if anyone is highly competent that we're going to avoid recession.
	And Treasury the Janet Yellen is out there saying Jerome Powers' predictions are too optimistic, he said.
	And yelling last week saying that there's nothing to suggest inflation uh if a recession is in the works.
	Oh, really?
	Summers explained that the combination of high inflation, low unemployment is always followed within two years by a recession.
	Lawrence Summers has been right, they've been wrong.
	This is Obama's Treasury Secretary.
	I can't believe I'm quoting him regularly.
	And he added, I think there's a certain there's certainly a risk of recession in the next year.
	And I think given what we've gotten to, it's more likely than not that we're gonna have a recession in the next two years.
	And on top of everything that I keep mentioning, the labor department said on Friday that grocery prices went up another eleven point nine percent in May from a year ago.
	From farmers to factories to grocery stores to every restaurant, executives are saying they're experiencing jaw-dropping cost increases for labor and packaging and ingredients and transportation, all these truckers calling us, telling us that the price of diesel is killing them, all these farmers saying they they can't afford the fertilizer and the seeds, they can't get the uh their equipment fixed, and on top of that, electricity costs are up double digits again.
	By the way, all right, so they're gonna raise interest rates again Wednesday.
	It's either a half a point, you know, 0.50 basis points, or it's gonna be three quarters of an uh uh a point interest rate hike.
	Okay, well, already before we get to that on Wednesday, mortgage demand is now at its lowest level in 22 years this week.
	And what's the next logical thing that is gonna happen?
	Actually, two things.
	Home building is gonna stop right dead in its tracks, and it's already happening because people can't get the loans at a favorable rate, and it's gonna cost that many thousands of dollars more per month if they but go forward with building the home.
	We already have a shortage of of homes in this country.
	And number two, all that money that you thought you had as equity in your home is gonna get evaporated because, you know, all the bids that have been going on around the country and the home selling has been crazy.
	All that's pretty much going to come to a standstill because people aren't going to want to pay the high interest rates.
	I know people now that locked into interest rates three months ago, they're dying to close on their deals because they got that rate locked in.
	And Biden has, you know, it's I've never met such an incompetent group of people.
	You know, Kraft, Tyson, McDonald's, all saying higher fuel labor and ingredient expenses are driving this inflation.
	They're all right.
	These are companies that want to make money.
	McDonald's doesn't want to charge you $8 and $899 for a quarter pound to a cheese, because he knows they know they'll have fewer customers.
	You know, it's and Powell now quoted, we're being told is facing an increasingly grim calculus.
	It's between elevated U.S. inflation and recession.
	I think we're going to end up with both if you want the answer.
	The largest pork company in the U.S. is shut down in California and a plant there.
	Why?
	High costs.
	They can't compete.
	That ought to be a canary in the coal mine.
	Bank of America warning of future inflation shocks.
	I mean, look at the have you seen the stock market the last three months?
	Trump warned about that too.
	And he says, you know, that's everybody's retirement.
	IRA, 401K.
	All now, you know, headed towards disastrous times.
	This is an opportunity for common sense Americans.
	No, I'm not even talking about Republican and Democrat anymore.
	There's got to be a new American majority.
	And Republicans should lead the way, and it should be the simple principles of conservatism, limited government, less bureaucracy, liberty, freedom, capitalism, our constitution, lower taxes, less burdensome burdensome regulation, energy independence, secure borders, follow the law, law and order so everyone is safe and secure.
	If you're safe and secure, you can pursue happiness.
	Constitutionalists on the bench, choice in schools, stop burdening our kids with all this social indoctrination.
	Let the parents instill the values, let the kids learn reading, writing, math, science, and computers, and move on from everything else.
	And if if this new majority emerges, an American majority of common sense Americans, we can be the prosperous nation.
	None of these things, none of these problems I'm talking about, are that complicated.
	That's what's frustrating to me.
	We are all suffering needlessly.
	And it's no wonder that the that the front page of the New York Post, even the New York Times saying it, say it ain't Joe.
	We now have a real clear politics average.
	It just came out.
	The lowest approval rating Joe's ever had in the 30s.
	That's the average.
	That's phony polls that have them up at 45% approval rating included in this.
	New York Times, you know, pointing out midway through the 2022 primary season, many Democratic lawmakers, party officials are venting their frustrations with President Biden's struggle to advance the bulk of his agenda, doubting his ability to rescue the party from a predicted midterm trouncing and increasingly viewing him as an anchor that they should cut loose in 2024.
	Interviews with nearly 50 Democratic officials from count from county leaders to members of Congress, disappointed voters who back Biden in 2020 reveal the party is alarmed about Republicans rising strength and extraordinarily pessimistic about an immediate path forward.
	Biden should announce his attend not to seek re-election.
	AOC would not endorse him this week.
	I don't play that later.
	Biden White House, by the way, we found out on Fox News.com.
	They're always breaking great news there.
	Apparently hosted defund police activists.
	Those are two other issues.
	America, if you want a new American majority, conservatives need to go into every town and city and say, we will hire the police to make you safe.
	We will protect your city and your town.
	We will refund the police.
	They should tell people that.
	We're going to fix your schools.
	We're going to break the unholy alliance between teachers unions and the Democratic Party.
	Matter of fact, Pete Heggs will talk about that at the top of the hour.
	You know, to say the country was on the right track would be a flagrant departure from reality.
	Biden should announce his intent not to seek re-election in 24, right after the midterms.
	One current DNC member says, his New York Times piece was brutal about how Democrats feel about Biden right now.
	And David Axarod, he's not a dummy.
	He said Biden's age is a major issue if he wins re-election.
	And he's a, you know, he's his it's not just his age, it's his failing policies.
	I mean, when Obama's Treasury Secretary is pointing you in the right direction repeatedly, and you don't listen to them, that tells you something.
	But they're busy hosting defund the police people, according to White House logs that have come out.
	Um, it's, you know, oh, and by the way, there's still this executive order of Biden last week.
	It's just defund by a different name.
