YOU FOR JOINING ME AND GIVING ME
YOUR INSIGHT.
I APPRECIATE IT.
>>> ALL RIGHT.
A MEMBER OF OUR FOX BUSINESS
TEAM EXPERIENCING A CRIME WHILE
COVERING IT.
BEFORE WE DO THAT, WE’RE GOING
TO GO TO CONGRESSIONAL
CONGRESSMAN FROM TEXAS, THE
GREAT KEVIN BRADY.
KEVIN, GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU, SEAN.
[LAUGHTER]
SEAN: I GOTTA TELL YOU, I ALWAYS
LOVE WHEN YOU COME TO YOUR HOUSE
AND THE AMERICAN FLAG --
>> THANKS.
THANK YOU.
SEAN: GIVE ME YOUR TAKE ON THESE
NUMBERS, KEVIN.
WHAT’S YOUR TAKE?
>> YEAH.
THIS IS TERRIBLE NEWS FOR
WORKERS, FOR FAMILIES, CERTAINLY
FOR SENIORS AS WELL.
HERE WE ARE NEARLY A YEAR WITH
AFTER PRESIDENT BIDEN PROMISED
VOTERS THAT INFLATION HAD
PEAKED.
HERE WE HAVE CORE INFLATION IS
AT HIGHEST ON RECORD DURING HIS
PRESIDENCY.
IT IS CLEARLY HOUSING COSTS THAT
DOUG HOLTZ-EAKIN POINTED OUT ARE
JUST CRUSHING PRINTS IN HOUSING
AND MORTGAGE RATES, NOW AT A 20
THE-YEAR HIGH.
HEALTH CARE SAW A NEARLY 30%
INCREASE IN ONE YEAR.
THAT’S THE HIGHEST LEVEL ON
RECORD.
THAT’S CRUSHING FOR SENIORS AND
WORKING FAMILIES.
OBVIOUSLY, FOOD AND ALL THAT.
BUT IT’S CLEAR TO DOUG
HOLTZ-EAKIN’S AND YOUR POINT --
THANK YOU FOR POINTING IT OUT --
SO WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE THAT
DRIVES INFLATION?
GOT A COUPLE THINGS GOING.
A WAGE PRICE SPIRAL.
NO ONE WANTS TO BE IN THAT
BECAUSE, ULTIMATELY, IT DRIVES
INFLATION HIGH, AND IT ENDS UP
IN INFLATION.
WE HAVE A WORKER SHORTAGE
DRIVING INFLATION IN A BIG WAY.
AT THE END OF DAY, THE
PRESIDENT’S REALLY MISLEADING
AMERICANS ABOUT THE SEVERE I OF
INFLATION AND HOW -- SEVERITY OF
INFLATION AND HOW CRUEL THE
ECONOMY HE CREATED REALLY IS.
SEAN: CONGRESSMAN, YOU TALK
ABOUT CRUELTY, AND WE HAVE WAGES
GOING DOWN WHEN YOU COMPARE IT
TO INFLATION SO, ACTUALLY,
AMERICANS ARE GETTING POORER.
I TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS A LOT.
AS MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, YOU WANT
TO MAKE PEOPLE’S LIVES BETTER.
THESE POLICIES ARE MAKING
AMERICANS PEER, AND WE JUST
HERALD -- POORER, AND THE
PRESIDENT HAS NO PLANS TO CHANGE
COURSE.
HE’S GOING TO CONTINUE ON THIS
MASSIVE SPENDING AND SOCIAL
PROGRAM AGENDA.
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW, THAT’S REALLY
TROUBLING OF THE MANY THINGS HE
SAYS, THAT EVERYTHING’S FINE,
HE’LL JUST STAY ON COURSE.
BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS
WE KNOW THERE’S A DIFFERENT
COURSE AFTER OUR REPUBLICAN TAX
CUTSES, WE SAW THE ECONOMY
GROWING, NOT SHRINKING.
WE SAW MORE WORKERS CONNECT TO
JOB, NOT FEWER.
WE SAW PAYCHECKS GOING UP TWICE
AS FAST AS INFLATION, AND WE
LIFTED MILLIONS OF AMERICANS OUT
OF POVERTY, EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE
OF WHAT THIS PRESIDENT IS DOING
TODAY.
AND YET HE STILL DOESN’T
UNDERSTAND THE DAMAGE HE’S
DOING.
AND, AGAIN, I THINK WE’RE GOING
TO SEE -- RIGHT NOW WE’RE SEEING
FAMILIES SKIPPING MEALS, DIGGING
INTO SAVINGS, DELAYING
RETIREMENT, LOOKING FOR EXTRA
WORK.
NOW THEY HAVE GIVEN UP A FULL
MONTH OF THEIR PAYCHECK AND THEN
SOME TO PRESIDENT BIDEN’S
ECONOMIC LEADERSHIP.
THAT’S WHY I THINK THERE’S NO
QUESTION VOTERS ARE GOING TO
CHANGE THAT COURSE HERE IN MOVE.
SEAN: LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT THE
VOTERS AND THIS UPCOMING
ELECTION.
I THINK THERE’S A LOT OF PEOPLE
IN AMERICA THAT CARE ABOUT A LOT
OF VERY DIFFERENT ISSUES.
WE’RE A VERY UNIQUE SET OF
PEOPLE.
BUT WHEN YOU CAN’T PUT FOOD ON
THE TABLE, PUT GAS IN YOUR CAR,
PAY FOR SHELTER, ALL OF A SUDDEN
IT’S ABOUT MAKING SURE I CAN
SUSTAIN MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.
AND TO YOUR POINT, I THINK
YOU’RE SEEING AMERICANS ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY VERY CONCERNED ABOUT
THEIR FUTURE, THEIR FINANCIAL
FUTURE AND ABILITY TO, YOU KNOW,
PAY FOR THE BASICS OF LIFE.
WHAT IMPACT DO YOU THINK THESE
NUMBERS WHICH, BY THE WAY, WE’RE
SEEING THESE NUMBERS, BUT EVERY
AMERICAN IS FEELING IT.
THEY’VE KNOWN THESE NUMBERS WERE
HIGH.
>> YEAH.
SEAN: WHAT IMPACT IS THIS GOING
TO HAVE ON THE NOVEMBER 8INGTH
ELECTIONS, MIDTERMS?
>> THE BASIC THING YOU WANT A
PRESIDENT TO DO IS HELP KEEP A
RECOVERY GOING, ECONOMIC
RECOVERY, AFTER THE PANDEMIC.
THE PRESIDENT BUNGLED A VERY
STRONG ECONOMY AND A VERY STRONG
RECOVERY.
NOW WE’RE MANY DEEP TROUBLE AS
AN ECONOMY AND AS AMERICANS, AND
SOME EXPERTS BELIEVE THE COUNTRY
WILL HAVE TO SHED 6 MILLION JOBS
TO TRY TO FIX JOE BIDEN’S
BUNGLING OF THIS RECOVERY.
AMERICANS KNOW IT, THEY FEEL IT,
AND THEY’RE GOING TO WANT A
CHANGE, SOME CHECKS AND BALANCES
IN CONGRESS GOING FORWARD.
THAT’S WHY I FEEL CONFIDENT
ABOUT REPUBLICANS TAKING BACK
THE HOST.
SEAN: CONGRESSMAN BRADY, I WOULD
THINK WITH THESE NUMBERS COMING
OUT, THE DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE
SAID, LISTEN, I WANT EVERY
SINGLE MEMBER BACK TO
WASHINGTON.
WE’VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
WE’VE GOTTEN WRONG, HOW WE FIX
THIS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, WE
HAVE TO HAVE EMERGENCY MEETINGS.
BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT HAPPENED
TODAY.
THEY’RE HAVING JANUARY 6TH
HEARINGS INSTEAD OF TALKING
ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT REALLY
MATTER TO PEOPLE, WHICH IS THE
ECONOMY.
MAKE ANY SENSE TO YOU?
>> NO, IT DOESN’T.
BUT THIS HAS BEEN THE WHOLE TWO
YEARS OF ONE-PARTY RULE WHICH IS
THEIR AGENDA, FORGET WHAT
WORKING FAMILIES AND MIDDLE
CLASS FAMILIES NEED OF.
WE HAVE A RADICAL AGENDA, WE’RE
GOING TO FORCE IT DOWN YOUR
THROAT AND THE TONE DEAFNESS YOU
JUST DESCRIBED.
THAT’S WHAT WE’VE BEEN SEEING.
IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE.
SEAN: CONGRESSMAN KEVIN BRADY
FROM THE IF GREAT STATE OF
