00:00:01.782 --> 00:00:03.322
Those are the drums of liberty.

00:00:03.322 --> 00:00:13.651
Those drums are being overrun by the worst presidency in modern American history, perhaps in all of American history.

00:00:13.651 --> 00:00:28.821
No joke, let's talk about the reasons why in this Liberty Minute minute.

00:00:28.841 --> 00:00:36.283
Welcome to the Theory to Action podcast, where we examine the timeless treasures of wisdom from the great books in less time, to help you take action immediately and ultimately to create and lead a flourishing life.

00:00:36.283 --> 00:00:40.292
Now here's your host, David Kaiser.

00:00:42.582 --> 00:00:45.659
Hello, I am David and welcome back to another Liberty Minute.

00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:54.755
You know in past Liberty Minutes we've talked about how bad the Joe Biden presidency has been.

00:00:54.755 --> 00:01:08.316
But boy, oh boy, this guy is charging hard at the number one spot of being the worst president in all of American history.

00:01:08.316 --> 00:01:10.828
You know that's a hard feat to accomplish.

00:01:10.828 --> 00:01:25.251
The guy at the top spot as our worst president ever in US history, james Buchanan that guy had the office for the four years leading up to the US Civil War.

00:01:25.691 --> 00:01:26.493
Just think about that.

00:01:26.493 --> 00:01:39.489
I mean, even if you're just ineffective in the office of President of the United States, you're going to get some policies right.

00:01:39.489 --> 00:01:43.269
You know you're going to find success somewhere.

00:01:43.269 --> 00:01:46.688
As they say, a squirrel finds a nut.

00:01:46.688 --> 00:01:54.694
Every now and then you will swerve into some successes if you're president for four years.

00:01:54.694 --> 00:02:02.754
But just name me one area of success in the last four years, just one.

00:02:02.754 --> 00:02:12.588
We'll go ahead and wait while you think about it, while you try to conjure up some policy.

00:02:12.588 --> 00:02:20.984
That is somewhat of a success, because it is meager pickings, as they say in basketball.

00:02:20.984 --> 00:02:24.733
The bench is not very deep, there's not a lot there.

00:02:24.733 --> 00:02:28.605
But let me help you.

00:02:28.605 --> 00:02:33.972
You know I can be a good friend occasionally.

00:02:33.972 --> 00:02:53.527
I'll give you just one policy area where Joe Biden will say I've been successful Student loan forgiveness is what someone told me the other day when I asked this question, so let's dig into that.

00:02:54.028 --> 00:02:58.282
Has Joe Biden been successful on student loan forgiveness?

00:02:58.282 --> 00:03:02.306
Nope, supreme Court smacked him down on that.

00:03:02.306 --> 00:03:10.776
One Even came back as a 6-3 decision, not the regular 5-4 decisions we've come to expect from the court in our modern times.

00:03:10.776 --> 00:03:15.187
Let's try to think up another one.

00:03:15.187 --> 00:03:24.650
In fact, the friend that I asked could not come up with another one Stammered, hemmed and hawed, but let me help you out again.

00:03:24.650 --> 00:03:32.676
Stammered, hemmed and hawed, but let me help you out again If you were a radical liberal, which is the only support Joe Biden is getting these days.

00:03:32.676 --> 00:03:49.705
Unless you're in Dearborn, michigan, where the whole state is going the way of California, his Joe Biden support numbers are tanking worse than any president since polling was started.

00:03:49.724 --> 00:03:51.469
Uh, in a reelection year.

00:03:51.469 --> 00:03:59.735
But since these folks are struggling to come up with some successes, let's play devil's advocate, since Joe Biden is probably working for the devil.

00:03:59.735 --> 00:04:02.263
Seriously, you think I'm kidding?

00:04:02.263 --> 00:04:05.027
Uh, we, we, seriously.

00:04:05.027 --> 00:04:09.215
We need to pray for this man's soul because he's not good.

00:04:09.215 --> 00:04:11.806
I mean seriously not good.

00:04:11.806 --> 00:04:24.194
We need to pray, pray, pray, please pray, because, objectively, if you look at the way he is running this office, it is horrific.

00:04:24.194 --> 00:04:30.591
But let's look objectively.

00:04:30.591 --> 00:04:37.100
Let's look at some of the successes that Joe Biden will tout.

00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:41.742
Let's just look at a couple for this podcast.

00:04:41.742 --> 00:04:42.324
Number one they will tout.

00:04:42.324 --> 00:04:43.526
The radical libs will tout America's rescue plan.

00:04:43.526 --> 00:04:57.543
We passed this in March of 2021, and the president signed it in the law and it was absolutely an amazing piece of legislation, got the country moving again, which is rubbish, but they will tout.

00:04:57.543 --> 00:04:59.971
We spent $1.9 trillion.

00:04:59.971 --> 00:05:09.175
Now, that's trillion with a T, not billion with a B, but trillion with a T $1.9 trillion.

00:05:09.175 --> 00:05:23.730
It included direct financial payments to Americans for COVID relief, it extended unemployment benefits, it bailed out and gave significant funding to state and local governments, and it all came on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic.

00:05:23.730 --> 00:05:26.127
So Joe Biden will justify it.

00:05:26.961 --> 00:05:28.608
And all of this is hogwash.

00:05:28.608 --> 00:05:37.043
There's very, very little evidence that any of this spending helped Americans get back to work after the pandemic.

00:05:37.043 --> 00:06:28.947
Actually, many studies out there now show, with more and more evidence, that this spending is slowing down, or slowed down, and contributed in the latter half of 2022 and 2023, while contributing to inflation, that inflation spike that we now are all experiencing and it's an inflation spike that happens every time the federal government injects a huge amount of money into the economy, which is ironic because it's the second success that Joe Biden touts.

00:06:28.947 --> 00:06:42.028
He actually says hey, brock, hold my beer, man, I can spend more money than you can and I can spend it faster, with no results and only a rapid rise of inflation.

00:06:42.028 --> 00:06:42.949
So hold my beer.

00:06:42.949 --> 00:06:58.281
But that all contributes to the second reason that Joe Biden and the radical libs will try to make the argument that he should be reelected, that the country is moving in the right area.

00:06:58.281 --> 00:07:02.228
And that second reason is infrastructure investment.

00:07:02.228 --> 00:07:13.394
Biden, like the good old boy that he touts himself to be, will be out there and say we need better infrastructure, we need to stimulate the economy, like FDR did during the New Deal.

00:07:13.394 --> 00:07:18.726
We need a new New Deal Now.

00:07:18.726 --> 00:07:35.615
Keep in mind FDR's New Deal economic policies did very little to contribute to improving the economies in the 1930s, despite what you read in America's textbook Howard Zinn's the People's History of the United States.

00:07:35.615 --> 00:07:48.747
That book is full of half-truths and we'll have to talk about that in the coming future.

00:07:48.747 --> 00:07:53.747
We'll dive into that actual subject matter of FDR's New Deal Economic Policies, but that's for another day.

00:07:54.468 --> 00:08:05.701
So the question was this Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of November 2021, which amounted to $1.2 trillion.

00:08:05.701 --> 00:08:15.115
Again, $1.2 trillion with a T, not with a B, with a T, $1.2 trillion with a T.

00:08:15.115 --> 00:08:20.134
Was it effective in modernizing our nation's infrastructure?

00:08:20.134 --> 00:08:21.468
That is the question.

00:08:21.468 --> 00:08:33.099
And actually, once you dig into that Investment and Jobs Act of November 2021, the price tag started out at $1.2 trillion.

00:08:33.139 --> 00:08:46.259
But once the GOP got a hold of it and you had more Democrats piling on with their pork barrel spending, it ballooned up to $2.65 trillion.

00:08:46.259 --> 00:08:51.976
Imagine that Not even the GOP can hold spending.

00:08:51.976 --> 00:08:55.995
In fact, they're not even the party of fiscal restraint anymore.

00:08:55.995 --> 00:09:09.027
They just want to outspend Democrats more than the Democrats, democrats more than the Democrats.

00:09:09.027 --> 00:09:10.812
So if you believe in sound fiscal policy, that you have no party.

00:09:10.812 --> 00:09:13.158
There is no political party that you can look to and say these folks get it.

00:09:15.765 --> 00:09:17.368
But let's set that off to the side.

00:09:17.368 --> 00:09:29.433
Are the roads, bridges, public transit and broadband internet expansion coming along at record rates because of this infrastructure bill?

00:09:29.433 --> 00:09:36.056
Have we seen that swaths of our nation's infrastructure improve greatly?

00:09:36.056 --> 00:09:37.719
Well, not so much.

00:09:37.719 --> 00:09:50.191
But Biden can say to Barack hey, man, hold my beer, I can spend more money more carelessly than you can, so hold my beer, man.

00:09:51.614 --> 00:10:02.739
Let's actually quote a of all places, a CNN article which is getting pretty close to MSNBC and their independent analysis, which is nothing.

00:10:02.739 --> 00:10:08.591
Nbc and their independent analysis, which is nothing, which is very shallow, independent analysis.

00:10:08.591 --> 00:10:09.732
But let's quote a CNN article.

00:10:09.732 --> 00:10:10.173
So you're not.

00:10:10.173 --> 00:10:14.288
So you know I'm not quoting some right-wing website.

00:10:15.110 --> 00:10:21.360
Here's what CNN says about the infrastructure and investment act of 2021.

00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:25.815
I'm sorry, the investment and Jobs Act of November 2021.

00:10:25.815 --> 00:10:41.380
Going to the quote, biden's plan includes $621 billion for transportation, $400 billion for home care service, $300 billion for manufacturing and $180 billion for research and development.

00:10:41.380 --> 00:10:47.331
Manufacturing and $180 billion for research and development.

00:10:47.331 --> 00:10:56.529
Biden's plan also calls for $85 billion to modernize public transit, $80 billion for Amtrak, $50 billion to safeguard critical infrastructure and $20 billion to improve road safety.

00:10:56.529 --> 00:11:11.313
So the GOP actually sent out emails saying that only 7% of the funding went to traditional funding for infrastructure and they didn't even have to do that.

00:11:11.313 --> 00:11:22.355
That's how bad this party even communicates and as a party, can push back against the Democrats.

00:11:22.355 --> 00:11:28.541
Crazy amount of spending and spending on everything but what the actual bill says it's going to be spent for.

00:11:28.541 --> 00:11:47.346
The GOP could have actually just spit out facts with the Democrats own definitions and still won the argument on this infrastructure Because, per the CNN source itself, imagine that crazy world anymore.

00:11:47.346 --> 00:11:50.635
But just stay with me to the CNN source itself.

00:11:51.605 --> 00:11:52.767
Let's go back to this article.

00:11:52.767 --> 00:12:34.254
It says If we include the aforementioned $235 billion in additional funding for transportation infrastructure, plus the $126 billion for building housing units and the $112 billion to build public schools and improve community college facilities, the $100 billion for water infrastructure hang in there with me and $100 billion for digital infrastructure and the $100 billion for water infrastructure hang in there with me, and 100 billion for digital infrastructure and the 100 billion for power infrastructure, all of this accounts for roughly 30% of the 2.65 trillion plan that was ultimately announced by the White House.

00:12:34.254 --> 00:12:49.001
Oh, it only accounts for 30% of the $2.65 trillion, with a T funding plan announced by the White House.

00:12:49.001 --> 00:12:50.623
Oh, my bad.

00:12:50.623 --> 00:13:10.690
Only 30% is going to actual infrastructure, when we are using definitions that are extremely liberal, in fact casting such a wide net that you could stick anything in infrastructure and be able to define it as infrastructure.

00:13:10.690 --> 00:13:17.359
So you know, joe Biden is telling his constituents hey, man, hold my beer.

00:13:19.370 --> 00:13:25.803
The last administration, barack Obama, which I was a vice president, we couldn't even get that much money spent.

00:13:25.803 --> 00:13:29.581
I'm spending more money than he did and faster than he did.

00:13:29.581 --> 00:13:36.769
You should reward me because I have no results and only rapid rises in inflation.

00:13:36.769 --> 00:13:44.873
So hold my beer, barack, rapid rises in inflation, so hold my beer, brock.

00:13:44.873 --> 00:13:49.965
Oh, and you know, the most legitimate question to ask now, when you are a sane person, is oh, where did the if we spent 30%?

00:13:49.965 --> 00:13:53.370
Where did the other 70% of monies go?

00:13:53.370 --> 00:13:55.472
You'll ask what.

00:13:55.472 --> 00:13:58.794
You're not allowed to ask detailed questions like that.

00:13:58.794 --> 00:14:00.376
Shut up, keep your mouth shut.

00:14:00.376 --> 00:14:05.841
No questions, please, especially no detailed questions.

00:14:05.841 --> 00:14:10.683
Appreciate that the money is being spent on your behalf.

00:14:10.683 --> 00:14:20.590
I mean, really wasted on your behalf behalf.

00:14:20.610 --> 00:14:24.177
So in today's Liberty Minute, joe Biden is quickly becoming the worst president of the United States for those two reasons.

00:14:24.177 --> 00:14:27.403
He's had no successes, zero successes in the last four years.

00:14:27.403 --> 00:14:29.594
No improvement, nothing, zero zilch.

00:14:29.594 --> 00:14:41.244
So we have to pray, pray, pray for our country and for this guy's soul, because he's not even a good Catholic.

00:14:41.244 --> 00:14:44.438
His spiritual life is a mess, crazy mess.

00:14:44.438 --> 00:14:46.778
So please pray for his soul.

00:14:49.571 --> 00:14:55.102
Again, joe Biden is quickly becoming the worst president in the history of the United States.

00:14:55.102 --> 00:15:04.623
James Buchanan, look out, he is coming after you and come back later this week and we'll dive into another three reasons, big reasons.

00:15:04.623 --> 00:15:19.144
Now there's actually many, many reasons this guy is quickly becoming the worst president in our history, but we'll touch on another big three of them, because that's where Joe Biden will say hey, barack, hold my beer man, hold my beer.

00:15:19.144 --> 00:15:24.754
Joe Biden will say hey, brock, hold my beer man, hold my beer.

00:15:24.754 --> 00:15:26.658
Now let's end this Liberty Minute with my favorite Joe Biden quote.

00:15:26.658 --> 00:15:33.000
When I was a kid, back in Scranton, a wheel fell off my canoe, which made me wonder how many pancakes fit in a doghouse.

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.011
None, because ice cream doesn't have bones.

00:15:39.298 --> 00:15:40.522
