Hello everyone and welcome to this episode of Ignition Time.
I'm going to share the highlights
of a recent press conference with President Biden and some really
important news worthy comments that emerged from this press conference.
Let's start with comments about schools
reopening, and then we'll get to the important subject of stimulus
and other matters pertaining to the country.
About schools, the President says, the district that says
we're not going to be open is always going to get the front page.
It's always going to be the top of the news.
Let's put it in perspective.
95% as high as 98% of the schools
in America are open, functional and capable of doing the job.
Let's roll the tape and see
President Biden putting the whole school reopening situation,
the whole school reopening controversy, if you will, in the right perspective.
Let's roll the tape and see what President Biden had to say.
Let's watch.
The outfit, the individuals of the district that says we're not going to be open is always going
to get and I'm not being critical of any of you,
it's always going to get front page.
It's always going to be the top of the news.
But let's put it in perspective.
95% as high as 98% of the schools
in America are open, functioning, and capable of doing the job.
And folks, in what is
clearly one of the most newsworthy aspects of this press conference, President Biden,
when he was specifically asked about the build back better plan, said,
it's clear to me that we are going to have to probably break it up.
Let's roll the tape and hear what President Biden had to say.
That you're confident that major chunks of build back better can't pass.
Are you breaking it up? Yes.
Well, it's clear to me that we're going to have to probably break it up.
I think that we can get and I've been
talking to a number of my colleagues on the Hill.
I think it's clear that we would be able
to get support for the 4-500 plus billion dollars for energy
and the environmental issues that are there, number one.
Number two, I know that the two people who've opposed
on the Democratic side at least support a number of things that are in there.
For example, Joe Manchin strongly supports
early education, three years and four years of age strongly supports that.
Now, let's emphasize what the President just said, folks.
The President said this on the build back better plan.
I think we can break the package up, get as much as we can now.
Come back and fight for the rest later.
Let's roll the tape and hear what the President had to say about this.
Let's watch.
I think we can break the package up, get as much as we can now.
Come back and fight for the rest later.
Now, folks, in case you're wondering what's actually going to happen
with stimulus, I have heard of other news reports when House Speaker Pelosi is going
to suggest a smaller, more targeted stimulus.
Let me be as clear as I can.
I don't believe there will be any more stimulus checks.
I do have to emphasize this because a lot of other channels will string you along,
making you think that there are more stimulus checks coming.
I want to be as clear as I can.
I want to be upfront with you.
I have a lot of respect for you,
and I don't want to string you along just for views.
I want to tell you the truth,
I don't think another stimulus check is coming,
but I do think that indirect forms of stimulus like the child tax credit
and other incentives and subsidies will be coming.
But it's not going to be a check in the mail because I think the political
capital in other words, the Republicans and the Democrats need to be aligned.
The political capital to pass another stimulus check does not exist.
In fact, President Biden took a shot at the entire Republican Party.
And the President specifically said, I quote, what are Republicans for?
What are they for? Name me one thing.
Therefore, let's roll the tape and hear what President Biden had to say.
Let's watch.
Think about this. What are Republicans for? What are they for?
They mean one thing they're for.
And so the problem here is that I think what I have to do in the change in tactic,
if you will, I have to make clear to the American people what we are for.
We passed a lot we passed a lot of things that people don't even understand.
What's all that's in it understandably.
And folks, President Biden goes one step further.
He actually takes a direct shot at former President Trump.
He said this.
I quote, did you ever think that one man out of office could intimidate an entire
party where they are unwilling to take any vote contrary to what he thinks should be
taken for fear of being defeated in a primary?
Wow.
This is as direct as it gets.
In fact, this is a reminder to us
that many, many Republican House members said they did not vote to impeach Trump
for inciting the January 6 insurrection because they actually feared for their
lives and they feared for the lives of their families.
This is the truth.
Let's roll the tape and see what President Biden had to say about this.
Let's watch. Did you ever think
that one man out of office
could intimidate an entire party
where they are unwilling to take any vote contrary to what he thinks should be taken
for fear of being defeated in a primary? I've had five Republican senators
talk to me.
Bump into me, quote.
Unquote, or sit with me, who've told me that they agree
with whatever I'm talking about for them to do.
But Joe, if I do it, I'm going to defeat it in the primary.
I got to break that.
It's got to change.
So where do you stand with all of this?
Do you think the build back better agenda should be broken down into small pieces?
And if it does, is it likely to be passed again?
I want to be as clear as I can.
I don't think we will see another stimulus
check and I want you to have the right information.
Do you agree with President Biden that a majority of schools are open?
And here's the big one.
Do you agree with President Biden
that former President Trump is intimidating the entire Republican party
and they actually fearful of him in some cases?
Are they fearful for their lives and the lives of their families?
And in what is probably the most direct shot at the entire Republican party,
do you agree with President Biden when he says, I quote, what are Republicans for?
What are they for? Name me one thing.
Therefore, do the Republicans actually stand for anything?
And by the way, to round off this episode
of ignition time, let's feature undeniably the leader of the Republican party.
Whether you like him or not, it is former President Trump.
In fact, former President Trump was specifically asked by Newsmax what
Republicans should do first if they retake Congress.
Listen carefully to former
President Trump's answer, and my opinion is he didn't really provide an answer.
Listen closely and let me know whether you agree or disagree.
Sounds like the Republicans are going to take back control of the Congress.
And what would you like to see them do first?
What should be priority number one?
If they do take back control number one, take back.
That's what has to be number one. We have to take it back.
These are radicalized, horrible people that hate our country.
What they're doing with the open borders
and the judges and all of the things they've been doing is so sad.
And then you look at Afghanistan is the top of the way.
They came out.
We were coming out and we were coming out strong with dignity.
There's never been a lower point than what happened with Afghanistan, in my opinion.
So we've got a number one. We've got to win the house.
And I think we can win the Senate. Also.
We should win the house, maybe handily and I think we should win the Senate.
So that's where we stand, everyone.
Very interesting comments from President Biden and very interesting
non comments from former President Trump and of course, the future of stimulus.
I believe there will be more stimulus.
It will be an indirect stimulus, but it will not be stimulus checks in the mail.
And regardless of what happens,
we are not going to see the kind of stimulus we saw in the past.
