Deep dives
Biden's Approval Ratings on the Economy Are Low
Recent polls show that the majority of Americans are dissatisfied with Joe Biden's leadership on the economy. Only 20% say they are better off today than before the pandemic, with 45% saying they are worse off. The poll also reveals that if their finances are worse due to the pandemic, 71% of those voters would vote for President Trump.
Janet Yellen's Inability to Tackle Economic Issues
Janet Yellen, the Treasury Secretary, is facing criticism for her handling of the economy. She admitted in an interview that she has no clear plan to address the rising gas prices, passing the blame onto the Saudis. Additionally, Yellen's reliance on Keynesian stimulus is seen as ineffective, as it does not lead to long-term economic growth and innovation.
The Growth of Government Employment
While many private companies are cutting staff and freezing new hires, the government has been increasing its employment numbers. Public sector jobs at the federal, state, and local level have risen by 327,000 positions in 2023, making up almost one-fifth of all new American jobs created. This trend indicates a growing public sector at the expense of a shrinking private sector.
Biden's Immigration Policy and Border Crisis
The podcast episode discusses the Biden administration's immigration policy and the border crisis it has caused. The administration's decision to end the Trump-era 'Remain in Mexico' policy has led to an influx of asylum seekers and illegal immigrants attempting to enter the United States. The speaker expresses concern that not all these individuals are genuine asylum seekers, but rather people looking for jobs and welfare benefits. The episode also highlights the images of immigrants in cages emerging from Tucson, Arizona, questioning the handling of the situation by the Biden administration.
Controversy Surrounding the US-Iran Prisoner Swap
The podcast episode delves into the controversy surrounding the recent US-Iran prisoner swap. The Biden administration released $6 billion in frozen funds to Iran in exchange for the release of five American prisoners. Critics argue that this move is problematic, as it effectively gives money to a regime with a history of supporting terrorism. The episode highlights concerns that the funds may not be used solely for humanitarian purposes, as Iran's president himself stated they would be used for various purposes. The Biden administration maintains that it is holding Iran accountable through sanctions and increased military presence in the Gulf region.
We break down the latest effects of Bidenomics; the White House gives the Iranian government access to $6 billion while touting their dealmaking prowess; and sexual harassment allegations emerge against Tim Ballard, the inspiration behind Sound of Freedom.
