Transcripts
exactly one week ago today Joe Biden
told a reporter what he wants his legacy
to be Mr President what do you want your
legacy
to SEC the
economy yesterday the Dow Jones
Industrial Average fell over a th points
the NASDAQ cratered by nearly 3 and a
half% and the S&P 500 suffered its worst
day in two years following its worst
start to any month in 22
years Financial analysts were shocked
political an ists were not I'm not great
at interpreting market reports but I
know how to interpret Joe Biden whatever
he says assume the opposite that much is
clear what's not clear is who exactly
we're supposed to
blame that is the strangest part of the
economic turmoil the looming war in the
Middle East the social disorder at home
Etc ordinarily we would blame the
president but no one really considers
Biden to be the president anymore I
would blame kamla Harris she's the VP
after all she's the nominee in
2024 but she doesn't really seem to do
much at the White House so who is it
this is perhaps the distinguishing
feature of the Biden Harris
Administration our leaders are so
cartoonishly incompetent it is not even
clear who to blame for their failures
why did the stock market get creamed
yesterday ostensibly it was because of a
weak jobs report so there was this jobs
report that came out on Friday that fell
way short of
expectations uh employers added only
114,000 jobs in July economists were
were expecting something like 175,000
jobs so that's that's a huge
underperformance on top of that wage
growth measured by average hourly
earnings continued to decelerate this is
the weakest annual rate in 3 years more
than three years there was another
report that came out earlier this week
that showed job openings fell in June to
the second lowest level since March of
2021 three years ago all of this taken
together is a sign multiple signs of
recession uh I'm not terribly surprised
by this in part because Biden said the
economy was doing great so I knew that
that the opposite would be true but also
because it just seemed like the Market
was not reflecting the fundamentals of
the economy the fundamentals of the
economy seem kind of weak right now and
eventually reality will reassert itself
really it it should be a really tough
moment for the Democrats to deal with
this you know the Democrats are the
incumbent party Joe Biden is the
incumbent president and yet there's this
weird situation where do we really blame
Biden we do in in the sense that he's a
total failed president but does anyone
think he's even awake right now probably
not he's an out running for re-election
I don't even care to blame Joe Biden
it's politically irrelevant to me if we
can if we blame Joe Biden in a way it's
kind of bad if we blame Joe Biden
because if we direct all of our ey at
Joe Biden we're going to take our ey off
of kamla Harris and then maybe she'll
skate into the White House and then the
question is do you blame kamla Harris
she's the VP right she's the second in
command but nobody thinks she's doing
anything at the White House the couple
of tasks she's been assigned as vice
president she's completely ignored
being the the borders are she didn't she
didn't have anything to do with anything
she was put in charge of uh getting
rural Americans connected to highspeed
Internet remember when Joe Biden in 2021
gave her that task at the State of the
Union she didn't do that she didn't
connect one single American to highspeed
internet so you can say okay she's
negligent she's incompetent sure but do
you blame her I don't know I just don't
know who's in charge this has never
happened before certainly in my lifetime
I think probably for many lifetimes
things are failing and yet we can't
really point to someone in the
government and say it's you you know
you're you're the problem that was a
good clip man now ring that Bell
