Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 Senator Joe manchins has it's time to hit pause on Joe Biden's spending plans as Biden's approval ratings crater the Afghanistan debacle has destroyed Biden's credibility and the Biden economy is flailing I'm Ben Shapiro this is the Ben Shapiro show the Ben Shapiro show is sponsored by expressvpn your data is your business protected at expressvpn.com Ben we'll get to all the news in just one moment first this is your reminder that your data is indeed vulnerable to people who are not you online and you're constantly using the online world right you're making payments where you're sending emails well all of that data is accessible by people who are not you whether we're talking about your ISP or whether we're talking about hackers every time you connect to an unencrypted Network in cafes hotels airports Etc your online data is not secured any hacker on the same network can gain access to and steal your personal data

1:39 leg up when it comes to the possibility of taking the house it now looks as though they have a very solid shot of taking the Senate if polls are to be believed from places like New Hampshire where John sununu is now up something like seven or eight points on his Democratic opponent if Republicans take back Congress Joe Biden effectively gets nothing done for the next couple of years which means is a very short window of time to Ram things through here is the problem in order for him to Ram things through he needs complete solidarity particularly in the Senate where he has a 50 50 split with the Republicans with Kamala Harris his vice president breaking the tie again that wouldn't have happened if Donald Trump had not intervened in the Georgia Senate races and talked all about how George's voting system was a complete waste of time and all of this but put that be be that as it may put that aside the the bottom line here is

2:23 that he still has a very very narrow Pathway to getting things done in the United States Senate and that requires solidarity among Democrats in order to cudgel people like Kirsten Cinema and Joe manchin into doing what Joe Biden wants he really needs to have some coattails Joe Biden himself needs to have coattails because here's the thing when it comes to things like budget reconciliation you can do this thing with 50 votes pretty much everything else you require 60. mansion and Cinema who are both from Red States Cinema you might say is from a purple state but the one of the red Estates in the country is West Virginia neither of them are going to break the filibuster they've made this very clear over and over and over no matter how many times the activist media asks them about it so that means that basically everything has to get done through budget reconciliation well the giant Omnibus packages that are

3:09 being pushed by Joe Biden are not on their face particularly Pleasant for either of those Senators for either Cinema or for Mansion they're not popular in Arizona they're not popular in West Virginia and remember senators are not answerable to the quote-unquote National polling they are answerable specifically to the people who are in their own state so the chances are that mansion and Cinema are not going to be super happy with these giant policy proposals which means the only reason why they would do what Joe Biden wants is if they believe that Joe Biden's coattails are strong enough to carry them through even in red slash purple states that he is overwhelmingly popular and therefore they will be able to go back to their voters and say we did all of these things because Joe Biden told us to do all of these things and therefore it is good that we did all of these things if Joe Biden's popularity craters therefore

3:52 his chances of being able to Ram through his agenda completely fall apart if he had a broader majority maybe his approval ratings wouldn't matter so much but his approval ratings matter an awful lot especially because waiting in the wings and everybody knows this is Kamala Harris who's a deeply unpopular politician so if you're Joe manchin charting your political future and thinking to yourself am I still here in four or five years do I get re-elected you're gonna hit your wagon to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris or are you going to chart your own course same thing for Kristen Cinema over in Arizona just pretty good approval ratings the reason she has pretty good approval ratings is because she's seen as a sort of democratic version of John McCain like she sort of a Maverick character willing to Buck her own party and say tough things to the people inside her own party about for example the filibuster

4:32 or about too much spending so this now puts enormous power in the hands of Joe manchin and that power only grows when Joe Biden is not good at his job so that means it matters an awful lot whether Joe Biden is liked or whether he is disliked on the national stage and that's why it matters that his poll numbers have been absolutely cratering now they're cratering for basically one specific reason and then one General reason so the specific reason is because of Afghanistan the general reason is because Joe Biden is a house plant so he was elected because he was a houseplant right but he was a houseplant who's supposed to provide stability the thing about house plans is that they are barely alive they cover the water stain and they don't move around a lot you don't have to worry about the houseplant you leave the house for the for for work in the morning you come back to house plants in exactly the same place maybe it's grown

5:17 a little bit that's pretty much it but Joe Biden elected as a houseplant is actually turning out to be the plan from a Little Shop of Horrors right he's eating everything else he's in terms of policy he's very much alive even though in terms of sentience he is not and so if you voted for Joe Biden or if you are somebody in the middle who's kind of warm to Joe Biden you're kind of getting the worst of Both Worlds you're getting the non-sentience non-charismatic president but he's not like Obama in any of the areas of Charisma or magnetism or personal draw and you're getting the radical policy of Barack Obama except on steroids because actually Joe Biden's policies are way more radical than Barack Obama's were at this point even in his presidency and Obama was really radical on policy that's early on in his presidency and so every time Joe Biden now appears and seems to be daughtering his way

6:00 through a press conference it hurts him rather than helping him if he were moderate and he were daughtering his way through people would be willing to say that that's kind of a feature not a bug all right he's daughtering but the reason he's daughtering is because we elected somebody to daughter the whole point is we wanted somebody who moved slowly incrementally somebody who is not going to be threatening okay but if he's threatening and also daughtering now it just seems like things are spinning out of control and so every press conference that he has where he seems incapable of holding it together is a serious problem for him that's why the Afghanistan debacle made so clear that he is is just not in control right even when he makes a call those calls are so incapable of meeting with any sort of good policy that this seems like an Administration where the brakes have been taken off and

6:42 you literally have an octogenarian in charge of the car driving directly at a crowd and everybody's kind of freaking out about that which means that if you're a moderate on the fence if you're Joe Bai a Joe manchin or if you're Christian Cinema you're like I don't want to be in this cloud in this car the future of this car is not good okay so let's go to the the daughtering of Joe Biden and then we'll get to the policy of Joe Biden so when it comes to the daughtering of Joe Biden he um he just continues to lie and fuss around it really is not good for him all of these things add up like the way that that people make decisions about politicians typically is that over and over and over their preconceived notions about those politicians are either rejected or reinforced Joe Biden every day is reinforcing the fact that he is not with us that he is not with us that his policies are radical and he's not in

7:25 control that this is a car reading out of control no breaks octogenarian at the wheel who should have had his license revoked at least five years ago here was Joe Biden yesterday he was doing a a kind of meet and greet with a uh with a bunch of so-called Jewish leaders I say so-called because a lot of the Jewish leaders that he was meeting with aren't particularly Jewish in any sort of religious sense and they kind of lead reconstruction of synagogues that don't reflect any of the principles of the Torah that are not particularly interested in Jewish philosophy but put that aside Joe Biden is speaking to them and he starts just telling lies about visiting the Tree of Life synagogue it turns out that he did not the Tree of Life synagogue of course was the site of the white supremacist shooting a couple of years ago and uh he said he visited he he absolutely did not he's just making things up

8:12 I remember spending time at the you know go going to uh the you know the Tree of Life synagogue speaking with them just it just is amazing these things are happening happening in America okay and then he started daughtering through a story about his daughter's wedding he couldn't remember what was going on it's very awkward I mean it's your grandpa is wandering Off Script no it's it's reminiscent I think it's a Mitch Hedberg joke or uh or a Jack Handy joke now that when when I go I want to go like my grandfather did peacefully in his sleep not like the passengers in his car screaming that's that's the Democratic party at this point right here here's Joe Biden again kind of wandering Off Script into the cornfield my daughter married a Jewish young man and uh you know dream of every every Catholic father that she married a Jewish doctor but uh Oak in the side he did is a great surgeon and they played

9:15 and I'm my mind's going blank now what's the song that is played where everybody is on the chair everybody uh you know what I can't remember it anyway and that's the song that was played so you know I don't know what the hell's going on here inspiring stuff there from the president of the United States very very very inspiring stuff and then he added on top of this he says you know he starts talking about never again now this is where you move from the senile to the rather unforgivable here's Joe Biden talking about ever again which of course is verbiage that is used surrounding the Holocaust that we as the world will never allow this sort of stuff to happen again I have some questions for Joe Biden about this particular perspective coming out of his face his daughtering old collapsing face here's the president of the United States I guess the point I want to make is that um it just shows that uh

10:11 if we walk away from never again um it's going to happen again it can't happen again and so I guess the point I'm making is that the attack in Pittsburgh those attacks all anti-semitic attacks aren't just a strike against the Jewish community their strike against the soul of our nation okay I'm just going to point out when he says we cancel it never again to happen this is the same president who is currently attempting to cut a deal with the genocidal Iranian regime to allow them a pathway to nuclear weapons hey this is the same president of the United States who is currently talking about opening a Palestinian Consulate in Jerusalem reopening the wounds of a process that has completely failed and incentivizing Terror attacks in the region against Jews this is the same president of the United States who on another front you want to talk about never again just a man in 38 million people to today's Nazis the

11:05 Taliban are literally going to go around just murdering everybody they don't like this is already happening in Afghanistan right now this is the same president who's been making kind overtures to China which has become increasingly aggressive meanwhile holding in Zhang Zhang one million uyghur Muslims in concentration camps so when this guy says I'm anti uh you know never again mean something we know it doesn't it absolutely 100 is not it's a bunch of words that he thinks he has to say in front of people and here's the thing he has no credibility on these issues he just doesn't his own Administration has completely Afghanistan is a perfect case in point he literally just said we're for human rights when we have to say thing about it say things about it but when we actually have to you know do something basic like living 2 500 troops there with no no actual combat casualties in a support role then I

11:49 won't do that he's so unwilling to stand up for human rights I mean don't don't talk the language of Human Rights if you are literally unwilling to make even the most minute sacrifices on behalf of Human Rights and not just human rights by the way American interests in Afghanistan but as long as he's going to be saying never again you know there's a lot there's in the Jewish Community there's been talk for decades about why it was that the Allies didn't bomb The Rail lines uh during the Holocaust why didn't they why didn't the Allies you know send a few planes and just bomb The Rail lines that were connecting various cities to the concentration camps and the defense has always been it was the middle of a war you have to use those bombs where they are best utilized namely against Nazi troops and more strategically necessary areas that's an open argument historically speaking hey but here we are not even talking

12:34 about even that kind of sacrifice we're talking about the United States of America leaving in place people who are already there doing the things they were already doing to prevent people from being shot in the face for walking in the street without a veil and Joe Biden wasn't even willing to do that so no I'm not particularly interested in hearing about never again from this doofus it's just is it his credibility is shot it's shot we're gonna get to his credibility being shot on Afghanistan in just one second first as you know I'm a big advocate of the Second Amendment I believe that if you're a law-abiding citizen you have an obligation to your family to learn how to use a gun and to own one as well so you can protect yourself protect your family protect your rights owning a rifle is an awesome responsibility building rifles is no different that's why I'm so impressed with Bravo Company

13:17 manufacturing Bravo companies started in the garage of a U.S Marine Corps veteran in Hartland Wisconsin the people at Bravo Company manufacturing support the rights of private individuals to access the same tools as civilian law enforcement for the purposes of Defending themselves their loved ones and their communities should a threatening situation ever arise Bravo Company manufacturing is not a Sporting Arms Company a design engineer and manufacturer life-saving equipment every component of a BCM rifle is hand assembled and tested by Americans in Hartland Wisconsin to uphold Bravo's life-saving standard I own a BCM rifle let me just tell you it's a magnificent piece of machinery and if I have to rely on a weapon God forbid to protect my family I will be picking up my BCM rifle to learn more about Bravo Company manufacturing head on over to Bravo Company mfg.com you can discover more about their products special offers and

14:00 upcoming news that's Bravo Company mfg.com com if you need more convincing check out the people who make their awesome products at youtube.com Bravo Company USA I highly recommend BCM rifles go check them out right now Bravo Company mfg.com all right so speaking of Afghanistan the administration just has no defense for itself at this point and Ned price for example the state department spokesperson he was freely admitted yesterday that the United States left several hundred U.S funded journalists in Afghanistan how many of those usagm employees were there or contractors rather and how many uh family members are there I so I don't have a firm uh figure uh with me I uh it has been reported publicly that there are several hundred uh involved involved in that group okay also the ap's Matt Lee who's pretty good foreign policy reporter he also grilled prices how many green card holders are stuck over there you just

14:55 don't care about those people anymore apparently you must have some estimate of lpr's who are who are still there who want to who want to get out and if you don't why not well Matt uh we let me let me first start with this issue of the the 100 to 200 100. I'm just asking about green card holders was there a decision made at some point to forget about those people and only allow U.S passport holders in and on to event into the airport through your checkpoints not the television or anything through your checkpoints and on to and on to planes because a lot of them feel like they frankly got screwed here and that they were lied to and of course they were screwed and they were lied to there are parades by the way of Taliban fighters who are walking around uh in suicide vests so these are our new allies over in the Middle East one reporter slammed depending on John Kirby who again has become the Baghdad

15:55 Bob of this particular operation saying you know you keep saying this is a strategic success I'm wondering exactly how how can the Department of Defense go before the American people those military service members and those veterans and say that the mission was accomplished when people were left behind I think Teresa we've been very clear that that we don't believe the effort has concluded the military mission of evacuation is over we know there are people that didn't make it out American citizens as well as special immigrant Visa applicants and we are and the U.S government is going to continue to look for ways to try to help them find safe passage out of the country now the media predictably are beginning to spin on behalf of the Biden Administration throughout all of this there's an entire piece in the New York Times today talking about how the Taliban are going to be pragmatic they're going to be awesome according to

16:47 the New York Times Max Fisher as Taliban commanders exchange their guns for the reins of power some 38 million Afghans can do a little bit hold their breath and wait to see how their latest conquerors will rule that uncertainty also palpable in foreign capitals from Washington to Beijing is compounded by the Deep contradiction between the group's record of extremism and brutality during its prior Reign from 1996 to 2000 and its Promises of moderation today there's no uncertainty but a line they're not going to be moderate they're going to do exactly what they want to do by the way Beijing has already said they're going to recognize the Taliban regime but says Max Fisher the Taliban are depending on how to take one depending on how one counts something like the sixth or seventh Rebel group to take over a country in the modern era while no two are exactly alike certain patterns have emerged in how Rebels rule

17:27 some learn to govern effectively even to modernize others collapsing chaos A Renewed War some grow crueler in power lashing out at their subjects in fear and insecurity others moderate the mostly in search of legitimacy and foreign aid but all seem to share a few traits a tightly bureaucratic authoritarianism albeit sometimes allowing a degree of political opening a focus on controlling or coercing elements of society seen as tied to the old order and a quest for foreign support and recognition as they strain to overcome the Pariah status that tends to greet militants who shoot their way into power so we can we can expect them that probably they're going to be you know eventually they're going to turn into like regular ruling people seeking pragmatic relations with the rest of or alternatively they are going to continue being the bunch of drug running which is how they supported themselves from 96 to

18:13 2001. drug running Beijing supported terror group that they've always been but gotta swing that gotta swing that support back behind Biden by the way the fact Checkers are doing yeoman's work on this it's amazing like if you just want to see what the Biden Administration assigned fact Checkers are doing today check the right hand side of the Twitter feed the Twitter feed every single day has some sort of fact check targeting a minor fact that was put out there that was that was wrong while ignoring the far broader narrative so there'll be a fact check about how you know there's a helicopter and it was flying a guy around he was a member of the Taliban wearing a harness and it looked like maybe a guy was hanging from underneath and people mentioned this that was not true that was not true of course the idea there's this is a very important fact check super important we're not going to fact check the presidents of

18:56 the United States saying he always had a plan for this we're not going to fact check the president of the United States saying no one expected that this thing was going to collapse as fast as it was you're not going to fact check the presidents of the United States when he says this was historic success like none of those things are worthy of a fact check but it is worth a fact check that the person hanging from underneath the helicopter this time was not the body of an enemy it was just a Taliban fighter which means now it's good that they have our black clock helicopters obviously the other fact check that made the rounds yesterday is the media attempting to defend Joe Biden for checking his watch repeatedly at the at the ceremony for the Fallen it's over Air Force Base hey the the USA Today actually had to change its own claim they actually claimed it was outright false that Joe Biden checked his watch during the

19:37 ceremony originally they claimed it was outright Falls then it turns out there were multiple gold star family members who said no Joe Biden kept checking his watch over and over and over I checked at 5 10 13 times during the actual ceremony honoring the Fallen so what did USA Today do did they revise their fact check they only changed it to missing context I'm not kidding you they didn't say that now that it's true that Joe Biden was checking his watch they literally changed it to missing context here was their correction this story was updated September 2nd to note that Biden checked his watch multiple times at the dignified transfer event including during the ceremony itself the rating on this claim has been changed from partly false to missing context I was missing context you see and like it's amazing they'll never just say Joe Biden checked his watch by the way the White House didn't even deny he

20:24 checked his watch jensaki was asked about it she avoided the question but the media are in full spin mode for Biden because this has been very very damaging for him Don Lemon who can always be counted on to defend the worst members of the democratic Administration he said you know Biden's getting beat up too much on Afghanistan man it's not that big a deal I mean it's not like he's unvaccinated or something you know I think people should stop beating up on the administration so much because no matter how it ended everyone wasn't going to be happy with the way it ended so if there's any silver lining in this it's going to be what happens going forward you can't change the past you can't bring those lives back as awful as that is and so you know I just think that sometimes I think the administration is getting beaten up on this a little bit too much because there's a lot of blame to go around from

21:10 four different presidents and who actually didn't have the guts to get us out of Afghanistan because they were afraid of this moment and what an exit might look like man that guy is just journalism being everywhere all over the Biden Administration all over their head I mean it's just wild the levels of Journalism that are going on right now they're from from Don Lemon it's really really well done ALC by the way also defending the administration so when AOC is defending Biden you know things have gone wildly wrong for the administration I don't know what the measure or expect of what a quote unquote successful withdrawal is but I hope people understand that this is what war looks like it is not neat and it is not pretty it is violent it is brutal and and we're out here and we're out here expecting like this is supposed to be a cakewalk I mean this this is war okay this is the same person who will

22:25 condemn the Israeli government every time a civilian is killed when you have terrorists hiding behind civilians there's the same person who will make light of riots in American cities but you know war is war man and if we got to leave a bunch of Americans behind in Afghanistan that's what we'll do this is famed women's rights Advocate AOC who basically is just like you know man so okay so we pulled out and they're 19 million women most of whom are under the age of 25 living in living in Afghanistan and they're just going to be subjected to vicious rape repeatedly but you know it was rough it was rough so the defenses are not working and herein lies the problem for Joe Biden we'll get to that in just one moment first we are proud that GCU Grand Canyon University is a supporter of the Ben Shapiro show okay as you know I am very critical of a lot of institutions of Higher Learning I think they don't teach

23:08 values I don't think they teach things that are worthwhile not so at Grand Canyon University it's an affordable Christian University one of the largest fastest growing universities in the country located in Sunny Phoenix Arizona GCU is ranked top 20 for best college campuses in America it offers over 275 engaging academic programs with over 240 online by the way it's a beautiful place to be I visited a couple of years ago students are wonderful it's really great GCU integrates the free market system with a welcoming Christian worldview Perspective into its academic programs so you can put your faith into action and help transform communities in 2020 GCU students received over 290 million dollars in scholarships with many attending GCU for less than the cost of a State University find your purpose at GCU private Christian affordable visit gcu.edu my offer to see what scholarships you can apply for and

23:56 qualify for go again to GCU edu my offer to find out more great University great student body terrific campus go check it out great values which is the most important thing check them out right now gcu.edu my offer okay fine so all of this is having a pretty dire effect on Joe Biden's approval rating because again easy to be a house plant we're not doing anything when you're as I mentioned the elderly gentleman who should have had his license provoke 10 years ago driving a car directly into a crowd this uh this is a lot less Charming you can see it reflected in the approval ratings so according to a new NPR poll Joe Biden's net approval rating is down 13 percent there's a new poll from NPR PBS NewsHour in Marist it shows that his approval rating is all the way down to 43. and so remember Donald Trump was widely considered one of the most unpopular presidents while he was president in American history Joe Biden is now at

24:47 those levels Joe Biden is down in the low 40s the problem is Joe Biden ain't got a basement okay well so so Donald Trump had a floor his floor was a solid 40 percent no matter what he did he was never going below 40 and probably no matter what he did he was never going above about 48 percent Joe Biden has no ceiling and he has no floor right so Joe Biden could be 60 approval 70 approval because there were times when he when he has been or he could be 25 approval because no one loves Joe Biden people merely tolerate the existence of Joe Biden he is a stand-in he was only voted for because he was running against Donald Trump the only person that Joe Biden could probably be was Donald Trump because he has never run a successful campaign for anything other than senator of a very small state his run for president 83 times he lost all 83 times the only reason he's a famous person is because he was plucked from relative

25:37 obscurity by Young Barack Obama who needed an elderly white man to accompany him on the ticket and so now Joe Biden is president of the United States and nobody is a Joe Biden fan no one is out there being like this guy is a great thinker he's a great speaker he has great ideas everybody's just kind of watching him toddle over to the to the lunch counter at Denny's and they're like that guy all right it's a lot soon he does but when he does bad stuff that means that his approval rating is going to continue to Crater and chances are that if things continue to go poorly for Biden it'll get worse so he could now be in a a cycle right he could now be taking a nosedive because on the domestic front his basic idea was okay well we'll bring all the troops home I'll get a big Boost from that and then because I get a big Boost from ending the Afghan war which was a big issue now here's the thing he

26:27 misread the room it was not a big issue for anybody in America Democrats think that because in their cocktail parties they themselves spend a lot of time talking about how the Afghan war is America's endless war Americans may agree that we should get out of Afghanistan but that is not a top 175 priority for Americans Americans generally only care about foreign policy when there are serious losses attached if you're just like if you ask Americans right now what are your opinions on troop levels in South Korea Americans may have an opinion on that maybe in fact they want some of the troops removed from South Korea is that anything that has crossed their mind in the last 25 years probably not the same thing was true about Afghanistan it had become another one of just America's protracted conflict where we had troops on the ground and where we weren't suffering serious casualties and serious

27:11 losses Joe Biden made it a top priority and he misinterpreted because he thought that by doing this he would be garnering some sort of public support and earning political Capital he could then expend it home the problem is he actually lost political capital and now he's running a political Capital deficit and he has no place to borrow from the bank is closed according to that poll 71 of U.S citizens deemed the U.S role in Afghanistan a failure 61 percent disapprove of the president's handling of the withdrawal 56 disapprove of his foreign policy as a whole those are brutal ratings the president's approval rating dropped by six percentage points for Maris August poll in which Biden earned a rating of 49 his support from Democrats has dropped by five points by 10 among Independents his approval rating has also dropped since July's approval rating of 50 percent his net approval rating was plus five in

27:59 August plus seven in July he is now at -8 since the US withdrawal from Afghanistan Biden has lost the support of the majority of Independence a key voting group Biden won in 2020. so that is a that is a disaster area for Joe Biden meanwhile in polls that are even worse for him there's a poll out from ABC news and it shows that a huge percentage of Americans now believe we are less safe and so Americans believe many things simultaneously some of which conflict with each other so for example a majority of Americans believe it is good to get out of Afghanistan but then a huge majority of Americans also believe that we are now less safe because we got out of Afghanistan now maybe that's a risk they're willing to take I highly doubt it I think that Americans only respond to the question that is put in front of them this is one of the problems with polling it is also true that when people answer

28:49 polls yeah it's true in every social science study social science studies demonstrate that the worst kind of social science study is when people do a self-assessment this is why for example there was polling recently on how many people had taken the vaccine and went racial group biracial group and instead in the poll that a huge number of black Americans had taken the vaccine well the CDC has actually measured who has taken the vaccine by race and it turns out that black Americans are far less likely to have taken the vaccine very often people self-assess in self-flattering ways this also happens with regard to foreign policy so if you ask people do you think that we are less safe now that we're out of Afghanistan people will say yes and if you ask them also should we have gotten out of Afghanistan they might also say yes right there's no obligation for them to be ideologically consistent

29:33 consistency being the hobgoblin of little Minds only 36 percent of Americans say the war was worth fighting there were 77 percent who support America withdrawing but sixty percent of Americans disapprove of the way that Joe Biden actually handled this thing now the most I think important thing here is that when asked exactly whether they feel it safer because of Joe Biden which is the question for presidents right it is not whether they think that what he did is quote unquote right or wrong 44 of Americans think the withdrawal left the United States left less safe from terrorism eight percent think the country is safer as a result and that's pretty shocking right 44 to 8. 44 of Americans think that that's what's wrong means that we are now a safe eight percent think we are safer all of those are immediate members of Joe Biden's family and Tony blanken's family the rest see no difference which means

30:32 they don't care about the issue because if you care about the issue it's pretty obvious we're not as safe as we were when we had those troops on the ground and the Taliban Hedges provided a new terrorist Safe Haven okay so what does this mean it means again Joe Biden has no leverage over his own membership none which means that Joe Biden could be in some serious trouble here which is why yesterday Jonathan Chait was writing angrily about how Joe by Joe Biden's presidency might be ended by Joe manchin why well Joe manchin put out an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal yesterday titled why I won't support spending another 3.5 trillion dollars he says the nation faces an unprecedented array of challenges and will inevitably encounter additional crises in the future yet some in Congress have a strange belief there's an infinite supply of money to deal with any current or future crisis and that spending trillions upon

31:14 trillions will have no negative consequence for the future I disagree an overheating economy has imposed a costly quote-unquote inflation tax on every middle and working class American at 28.7 trillion dollars in growing the nation's debt has reached record levels and by the way it is amazing what the levels of national debt were going back historically I mean I remember when George W Bush was blowing out the national debt and everybody's freaking out about it and this is back in you know 2000 2003 we were spending tons and tons of money federal debt held by the public as a percentage of GDP in like 2003 2004 was about 30 35 percent today the U.S national debt has a percentage of the federal GDP is approaching it's well over 80 now it's approaching 90 or 100 percent it's a these are shocking statistics obviously and if you look at kind of the 150 year view of the US national debt you can see that we are now up to

32:17 actually 98.2 percent of GDP right which is pretty unbelievable because of the amount of massive spending that we did last year and that we were about to do now so we are entering really dangerous territory in terms of the national debt now people on the left don't care because they think we can just print money forever here's the reality about about what you are doing when you continue to sell debt which is basically what you have to do and inflate the currency in the process there's only a few ways out of this one is you pay people back with inflated currency you actually start digitally generating dollars and then handing those dollars to bondholders the second is that you just radically raise taxes on people including middle class people there just are not enough tax dollars at the top of the income Spectrum the United States has one of those progressive tax systems on planet Earth people on the top one percent are paying

33:03 a huge percentage of the taxes people in the top half are paying all of the taxes people in the top 10 percent of income earners in the United States are paying all net taxes meaning they get no government benefits and they're paying all the taxes so you can't tax those people much more so if you really want to spend the money that we're spending right now you really have to broaden the tax base which of course is going to hamper economic growth okay so you can theoretically inflate the currency you can theoretically raise your taxes or you can get into a situation where you are defaulting now the United States is basically hoping that we're still the best relative bet compared to the rest of the market but this is also why the United States is not going to be in the future in favor of a lot of economic Innovation like Bitcoin being used as an alternative currency because it debases the United

33:44 States currency and makes it less likely that Americans are going to invest their money in things like bonds they're afraid that they're going to be paid back with inflated dollars so why would I want to be paid back in inflated dollars why would that be something worthwhile okay all of this is we are cruising for a financial bruising I guess is the story here and Joe manchin is correct about this he says over the past 18 months we've spent more than five trillion dollars responding to the coronavirus pandemic now Democratic Congressional leaders propose to pass the largest single spending bill in history with no regard to Rising inflation crippling debt or the inevitability of future crises ignoring the fiscal consequences of our policy choices will create a disastrous future for the next generation of Americans those who believe such concerns are overstated should ask themselves what do

34:27 we do if the pandemic gets worse under the next viral mutation what do we do if there's a financial crisis like the one that led to the Great Recession what if we Face a terrorist attack or major International conflict how will America respond to such crises if we needlessly spend trillions of dollars today this is right I mean obviously if you're going to fire financial bullets at crises you should wait for National crisis we are now at the tail end of the pandemic there's a study came out today it says probably upwards of 80 percent of Americans have some form of immunity to covet whether it's natural immunity or vaccine immunity so what exactly are we talking about spending five trillion dollars for right now says Joe manchin again because he is a senator from West Virginia and not a senator from New York instead of rushing to spend trillions on new government programs and additional stimulus funding

35:08 Congress should hit a strategic pause on the budget reconciliation legislation a pause is warranted because it will provide more clarity on the trajectory of the pandemic it will allow us to determine whether inflation is transitory or not while some of us have suggested this reconciliation legislation must be passed now I believe making budgetary decisions under artificial political deadlines doesn't lead to good policy or sound decisions I've always said if I can't explain it I can't vote for it I cannot explain why my Democratic colleagues are rushing to spend 3.5 trillion dollars also we must allow for complete reporting and Analysis of the implications a multi-trillion dollar bill will have for this generation in the next such a strategic pause as Joe manchin will allow every member of Congress to use the transparent committee process to debate what should be fun what can we simply not afford he

35:51 says I for one won't support a 3.5 trillion dollar bill or anywhere near that level of additional spending without greater clarity about why Congress chooses to ignore the serious effects inflation and debt have on existing government programs this is even more important now as Social Security and Medicare trustees have sounded the alarm that these life-saving programs will be insolvent and benefits could be reduced as soon as 2026 for Medicare and 2033 a year earlier than previously projected for Social Security establishing an artificial 3.5 trillion dollar spending number and reverse engineering the partisan social priorities that should be funded isn't how you make good policy undoubtedly some will argue bold social policy action should be taken as his Mansion while I share the belief we should help those who need it most we must also be honest about the prisons the present economic reality inflation

36:36 is rising it is bleeding the value of Americans wages and income more than 10 million jobs remain open our economy has reached record levels of quarterly growth this positive economic reality makes clear the purpose of the 3.5 trillion dollars in new spending is not to solve urgent problems but to re-envision America's social policies but my fellow Democrats will disagree I believe spending trillions more dollars not only ignores president's economic reality but makes it certain America will be fiscally weakened when it faces a future recession or National Emergency as many in Washington have convinced themselves we can add trillions of dollars more to that our nearly 29 trillion dollar national debt with no repercussions regardless of political party elected leaders are sent to Washington to make tough decisions and not simply go along to get along for those who dismiss my unwillingness

37:19 to support a 3.5 trillion dollar bill as political posturing I hope they heed the powerful words of Admiral Mike Mullen former chairman of the Joint Chiefs who calls debt the biggest threat to National Security so Mansion is basically saying that Joe Biden needs to wait well if this thing Waits do you think the conditions are going to get riper for people to vote for a 3.5 trillion dollar bill this thing needs to happen now everybody knows that it needs to happen now this is why Democrats are freaking out this is why Jonathan Chase has a piece titled Joe manchin has put Biden's presidency in Mortal Danger he says the Mercurial Senator calls for a pause when Democrats desperately need to move fast he says this is the most bearish indicator for Biden he says mansion's rationale for demanding a pause is farcical et cetera et cetera et cetera and it's really bad and it's super terrible but he says the compromise negotiated in

38:09 the house requires an expedited schedule with an infrastructure vote by the end of the month the sequence is still workable because all of the factions have an understanding of what they'll include in the social spending bill without that understanding in place progressives have every incentive to vote down the infrastructure bill which will in turn contribute to the impression of dysfunction and Chaos so in other words there's a deal in place the deal basically was that Joe manchin and Cinema would vote for the infrastructure Bill and then Nancy Pelosi would immediately Ram through a Reconciliation Bill Mansion is now saying hit pause so that means the timeline just got blown up this is what Jonathan shade is pointing out he says the sequence of mansion's negotiations is especially likely to provoke distrust he helped create a demand for a fast infrastructure vote which necessitates the scramble to speed up the second Bill

38:50 indeed the most reasonable demand house moderates have is to not be forcible for a larger build than Mansion ultimately agreed to his insistence on waiting freezes everything in place the danger is this pause sets off a cycle of failure wealthy interests are belatedly mobilizing against the bill now the Democrats best chance is to move as fast as possible delay creates the impression of dysfunction making Biden and Congress less popular in turn reducing the popularity of any bill they pass in turn making Congress more reluctant to support it Joe Biden has no coattails he can't force this thing through this is a serious problem for the Democratic party we'll get to more of this in just one second first let us talk about the fact that the unknown came in 2020 it changed the workplace forever some of us are getting back to the office some of us are finding themselves in a new normal at home the future of work has changed so

42:50 remember at 9 11 and particularly if you know people who don't it's a must watch you're listening to the largest fastest growing conservative podcast and Radio Show in the nation foreign Ty so in breaking news by the way the August jobs report is out complete fail complete absolute utter failure which of course is not surprising because we are paying people to stay home and then we're talking about inflating more we're talking about more stimulus we're talking about by the way telling people that they must stay home because of the pandemic when that is obviously not true if you're vaccinated you should not be afraid of other people who are unvaccinated because you're vaccinated it's the whole damned point of getting vaccinated in the first place so the reality there's a reason why these states that are doing best in terms of the unemployment rate are all red States and the states that are all

43:36 doing the worst are the blue States there's a reason for that the August jobs report how bad was it economists had forecast 725 000 jobs being created remember there are 10 million open jobs in the United States right now 725 000 jobs is what the economists have been forecasting the actual number of jobs created was 235 000 jobs they were off by a factor of three they're off by a factor of three that is a disaster area for the Biden Administration and again they keep missing the mark they keep missing it over and over they'll have like one good month and then they'll have three terrible months that is because you have completely destroyed all of the incentive structures causing people to go back to work you've destroyed supply lines you're artificially boosting Demand by pouring money into people's pockets but you can tell by the way that that sort of inflation is not actual price inflation it's not sort of heat it's not

44:28 economic heating you know how you know because if you look at the loan numbers like whether people are actually taking out loans the answer is no people are not taking out loans under these circumstances because they're afraid they're not going to be able to pay them back and that is because the underlying fundamentals that are being created by the regulate and spend and tax by an economy are a lot weaker than the fundamentals of an economy that was much more laissez-faire under Donald Trump this is this is wild I mean so the FED is now saying that the August jobs reports was a failure but because of that they're going to keep buying assets did ever occur to them that the reason the jobs report is a failure is because you keep inflating the currency is because you keep paying people to stay home it's because of unemployment benefits is because you're creating enormous pressure for businesses to

45:14 spend more money than they are actually taking in on employees like this is all causing inflation of course and um but they're saying it's transitory which is fine terrible news for the economy not a shock the unemployment rate fell to 5.2 percent in August from 5.4 before according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics there's a reason why Bitcoin by the way just Rose past 50 000 per Bitcoin the reason for that is because people are now investing in some form of more solid asset than the United States dollar given what the federal government is doing right now by the way uh according to the the economic report there were job losses in certain sectors in the retail sector almost 30 000 jobs lost in the restaurant sector 42 000 jobs lost and there are 36 000 jobs picked up in the entertainment sector that's probably going to take a nosedive considering the Joe Biden continues to shut down the

46:07 economy that's amazing what the people in in the media they're going to attribute this to the Delta Spike the reality is that the only reason that you are seeing shutdowns right now and tremendous fear right now is because the media have made it seem as though even if you are vaccinated you should be afraid this goes back to a point I was making yesterday about covet which really is the Salient point if you had to draw a chart of the worried and the unworied when it comes to when it comes to covet I'm actually going to do it for you right now okay here we have a circle it's the worried here we have a circle it is the unworried okay these are the two Circles of the American population hey the unworried contain some people who are vaccine who are vaccinated right I'm unworried and I'm vaccinated so some part of this circle are the vaccinated okay but the rest of the circle are the unvaxed the entirety

47:01 of the people who are unvaxed are unworried I say that because if they were worried they would go get maxed it is the best solution to your worry is to get vaxxed okay but then if you look at the circle of the worried they're the entire circle the entire circle is vaccinated of the worried okay the entirety of the circle is vaccinated so right now you have the Biden Administration basically telling the vaccinated to shut down the economy worry about the vaccinated worry worry okay but those are the people who shouldn't be worried we're now at the point where if you are a sentient adult in the United States and you don't have some unbelievably severe pre-existing condition in which your doctor says you shouldn't get a vaccine you have the option to do whatever the hell you want if the economy is shutting down it's because of Joe Biden Joe Biden's credibility is shredded he said he's going to stop the virus he has not he

47:53 said that he wasn't going to kill the economy he has he has said that he was going to shore up our credibility on the international stage not only is he not done that he's destroyed our credibility on the international stage and now all the big hopes that he had for restructuring the nature of American government They Ride on Joe manchin and Kirsten Cinema and this is an unsuccessful failed presidency and we are not even a year in that house plant is beginning to wilt in serious fashion alrighty we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of content first you cannot forget to end your week by checking out the Andrew Cleveland Show Drew's shows every Friday he's got an exciting evening planned for you head on over to dailywire.com at 7 pm Eastern 6 p.m Central tune in I'm Ben Shapiro this is the Ben Shapiro show foreign if you enjoyed this episode don't forget to subscribe and if you want to help
