Jay Weber Show transcript 12-8-23 6:10am
I got a rather snotty email from a left-wing listener yesterday, insisting that I wasn’t giving Joe Biden any credit for his accomplishments.
This listener said, ‘you’re so biased and unfair’.
Well, my biases on this show are clear and always have been: that’s sort of the open acknowledgement of ‘conservative talk radio’.
I-and conservative talkers in general-don’t pretend to be unbiased.
The whole point is our worldview is better than theirs-and here’s why.
But I do try to be fair. I praise democrat presidents, and lawmakers, and pundits when I think they are getting something right.
The thing is: they so-rarely-get something right, that they are only rarely worthy of praise.
But I try to be fair.
So, I wrote back-very nicely: send me a list of Biden’s accomplishments, and I’ll name them.
Nothing.
I got no response in return.
Why? Because the people who are still blindly loyal to this president and his party can’t even tell you ‘Why’ they are.
That’s why.
This listener ‘couldn’t’ name a single Biden accomplishment, or he would have written back, no?
and so-in the interest of fairness- let me bring up what- Biden’s regime! - and Biden’s dc defenders! -list as his accomplishments.
Shall we?
Isn’t this the best way to expose the falsehood that’s being forwarded by every corner of the left-wing media: Biden’s not getting credit for his accomplishments?
Let’s go thru them, shall we? -as Biden’s own team lists them.
First-they say: Biden and the dems passed the 1.9-trillion dollar ‘American rescue plan’...which included massive spending tied to covid relief...
That was totally unnecessary.
Waa -waaaaaa!
This is the fifth and final covid relief bill that America did not need-and that every economist in America-including on the left side of the aisle-begged Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer not to pass. This is the spending that they said-was unnecessary. Would flood the economy with too much govt spending. And would touch off runaway inflation.
And it did.
This act that Biden and the dems want to spin as a ‘win’ for you now touched off the worst inflation in 40 years and put new homes and cars out of reach of 2/3 of the country. Crippled the housing sector. Gobbled up any raises that Americans got during the trump era-and more.
Consumer prices are up 20 percent because of Biden’s first listed ‘win’.
The next- hey-he and the dems passed that ‘inflation reduction act’. Do you mean the one that they were so honest about that they had to mislabel? This spent another trillion dollars on so-called green energy and raised taxes in several ways- and poured even more money into the economy- only prolonging the terrible inflation. That’s not a win.
Especially when you look at how that trillion for green energy projects is being wasted. 350 million was to build a nationwide EV charging grid that- two years later-hasn’t put a single charging station into operation. Not one. In two years. But most of the money’s spent.
That’s not a win.
Buy. But....how about the infrastructure bill? That was a win-and it was bipartisan.
Okay. Let’s call this a ‘partial win’ for both sides...because our national roads and bridges do need ‘much needed’ upgrades. But even in that bill, there was even more money for ‘green energy’ that hasn’t amounted to anything.
Moreover- as real clear politics points out: if these three multi-trillion-dollar packages really are ‘wins’ for the American people-the credit should go to congress-not Joe Biden.
But the reality is-they aren’t wins at all. Instead, the American rescue act and the false ‘inflation reduction act’ doled trillions of dollars of our grandchildren’s money out to loyal democrat donors and constituencies in an attempt to buy future democrat votes.
That was the real reason for the spending. And Biden’s still at 38 percent approval.
Well, Jay, be fair. How about the fact that he put 14-million people back to work, and we have a low 3.8-percent unemployment rate. Those are Biden wins.
No, they’re not. That’s a fake number Biden uses and its’ really just all of the people who went back to work- post-covid. In truth, only about 3 to 4 million jobs have been created since Biden took office-and he and his policies had little or nothing to do with it.
If anything-they choked off a strong economic recovery and -cost us- jobs.
And as for the 3.8 percent unemployment rate: it was lower during his first year in office-
So, it has gone up over the last two years-and-
And- a more accurate measure of who’s working: the percentage of able-bodied Americans who are working a job- is sitting at 63 percent. That’s still well below pre-covid levels when it was about 67 percent. That’s the so-called labor participation rate-and there’s no victory for Biden there, either.
Next-don’t even pretend joe Biden cut the budget deficit. He claims he cut it by 1.2 trillion, no 1.7 trillion, no 7 trillion (he said the other day).
Folks-joe Biden-has not-cut the federal deficit. We just closed out the 2023 books and his regime finished out fiscal 2023 with a two-trillion-dollar deficit. He’s lying on that, too.
Other accomplishments that Vox claimed should be credited to Biden include he attempted to cancel student loan debt...and he pardoned thousands of people convicted of drug possession.
Ah- ‘attempting’ to do something that you didn’t get done is not ‘winning’. It’s failing. And releasing thousands of drug dealers from prison -virtually all of whom were in prison on far more serious sentences than ‘they were caught with some weed’....is also not a win for the country...unless you’re a desperate pothead.
Folks-there are no ‘wins’ here.
I’ve just given you the list of so-called accomplishments that Biden and his own cheerleaders on MSNBC and CNN want to site on his behalf-and they’re all falsehoods.
They are all-instead-failures.
You can’t call ‘touching off 40 year high inflation and destroying family incomes’....a win.
You can’t call ‘spending 3 trillion dollars on green energy with nothing to show for it’...a win.
Meanwhile-they ignore the catastrophic losses we’ve seen under this clown...
Because...you certainly cannot call a catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan that cost the lives of thirteen servicemen and left a thousand American and allies behind- ‘a win’.
You cannot call leaving 70-billion dollars of America’s latest war technology behind so that the Taliban and the chi-coms can use it against us-and copy the technology- a win.
You cannot call allowing 6-million illegals to flow into the country-intentionally- a win.
You cannot call aiding in 100-thousand fentanyl deaths a year...a win.
You can’t call- restarting human slavery in America and putting the sex slavery trade ‘on steroids’ with your open borders...a win.
What? Is this listener, or anyone else who makes this claim, thinking?
But you’re not giving Biden credit for his wins.
That’s a talking point you got from Joel Scarborough or Bernie sanders...and you were dumb enough to parrot it back.
There’s yet another poll out this week that shows joe Biden has tanked with young voters...and it means that 62 percent of Americans now disapprove of his presidency.
Wow. That’s a high number.
Folks-single women are the biggest reason that joe Biden-or any democrat- wins an election in America today. Democrats win ‘single women’ by such huge margins; it covers up their other shortfalls.
And so-if six in ten single women are now sour on Joe Biden- he can’t win in 2024. And if young people have abandoned him-he can’t win in 2024.
And if you think this is all just ‘talk’- listen to a snippet from the daily show this week: this is where all the young, cool voters go to get their news-right?
Black liberal talk show host Charlemagne the God is the host this week-and he is very negative on Joe Biden...and the lefty audience claps along.
CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD TO BIDEN: ‘GIVE AMERICA THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS GIFT AND STEP ASIDE’
Charlemagne represents two demos: minority liberal voters and young liberal voters. And that’s his take on Biden.
He’s out there-influencing young and African American voters-and that’s his take on Biden.
Do dem strategists-really? - still think it’s nonsense when we say that joe Biden’s in trouble?
