SPEED.
KENNEDY: BETRAYAL, REPUBLICANS
SAY HE MAY HAVE SAVED THE ENTIRE
NATION BUT NOW THAT THE BUILD
BACK BETTER BILL DEAD AS A
DOORNAIL, AND WEST VIRGINIA
SENATOR JOE MANCHIN, A HERO OR
THE DEVIL?
IS A MORNING MODERATE DEMOCRATS
SHOCK THE POLITICAL WORLD WHEN
HE WENT ON FOX NEWS SUNDAY
HOSTED BY BRETT BAIER AND SAID
THIS.
>> IF I CAN’T GO HOME AND
EXPLAIN IT TO THE PEOPLE OF WEST
VIRGINIA, I CAN’T VOTE FOR.
I CANNOT VOTE TO CONTINUE WITH
THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION, I
CAN’T.
I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING HUMANLY
POSSIBLE, I CAN’T GET BACK.
KENNEDY: WAIT, WHAT’S?
’S PROGRESSIVE INSTANTLY LOST
THEIR COLLECTIVE MINDS?
WATCH THIS.
>> WHEN I THINK ABOUT THIS NO,
THIS WAS A KNOW ALL ALONG.
>> LET THEM VOTE NO IN FRONT OF
THE WHOLE WORLD.
>> HE WAITED UNTIL THERE WAS
MINIMAL PRESSURE.
>> ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A
SENATOR WHO HAS COMPASSION FOR
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND NOT
CONTEMPT.
>> WE ALL KNEW SENATOR MANCHIN
COULD BE TRUSTED.
THE EXCUSES HE GAVE I THINK ARE COMPLETELY --
COMPLETELY --
KENNEDY: YOU WATCH YOUR
LANGUAGE, THERE ARE CHILDREN
WATCHING.
NO THERE AREN’T.
I WISH I COULD MAKE A COCKTAIL
WITH THEIR PEERS.
I WOULD CALL IT A MANCHIN TEENY.
ALL RIGHT, OFF THAT BUT YOU GET
THE IDEA.
WE ALL LIKE BOOZE AND I CAN’T
STAND THIS SQUAD AND I TOAST TO
THEIR ANGER.
LIBERAL MEDIA ARE NOT HAPPY
EITHER.
>> BREAKING NEWS, SENATOR
MANCHIN SAID HE IS A FIRM NO ON
THIS LEGISLATION.
HE’S A PERSON TO BE DEALING WITH
WITHIN THE WHITE HOUSE, WE NOTE
THIS TO BE TRUE AND HE MAY WANT
TO BE A KINGMAKER WHEN IT COMES
TO THIS LEGISLATION.
>> JOE MANCHIN WANTED TO EXTEND
THE JOE MANCHIN SO.
KENNEDY: WELL GUESS WHAT, HE
JUST GOT RE- OUT FOR ANOTHER
SEASON.
CONGRATS.
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CLAIMS THEY
ARE COMPETENT THE BELCO
EVENTUALLY PASSED BUT THAT SEEMS
HARD TO BELIEVE RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE IT’S A 50/50 SENATE.
THE CAN’T GET A WIN WITHOUT JOE
MANCHIN AND THE SENATOR BLAMED
THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF FOR HIS NO
VOTE.
>> YOU KNOW ME, ALWAYS WILLING
TO WORK AND LISTEN AND TRY.
I JUST GOT IN AND THEY KNOW THE
REAL REASON WHAT HAPPENED.
THEY WON’T TELL YOU AND I’M NOT
GOING TO.
STAFF DRIVEN, I UNDERSTAND.
THEY PUT SOME THINGS OUT THERE
WERE INEXCUSABLE AND THEY KNOW
WHAT IT IS AND THAT’S IT.
KENNEDY: WHAT IS THIS FROM THE
STAFF?
IN OTHER WORDS, POLITICAL
PRESSURE IS NOT GOING TO WORK ON
SENATOR MANCHIN BUT DOES PROVE
THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT?
IT PRETENDS TO BE THE
ALL-POWERFUL FORCE.
LET’S GET INTO IT WITH TONIGHT
PARTY PANEL.
SPECTATOR USA, STEPHEN L MILLER
AND HOST OF THE RICHARD FOWLER
SHOW, IT IS RADIO SHOW AND FOX
NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, I WAS ON WITH
HIM FRIDAY AND WE HAD FANTASTIC
RATINGS.
RICHARD FOWLER.
AND THE FOUNDATION FOR ECONOMIC
EDUCATION WRITER IN LIBERTY
ACTIVIST, ONE AND ONLY, OLIVIA FERRANDO IS BACK.
FERRANDO IS BACK.
WELCOME, EVERYONE.
I’M HAPPY TO HEAR AND WE
CELEBRATE THIS.
STEPHEN L MILLER, WHAT WAS THE
ISSUE WITH THE STAFF?
JOE MANCHIN SAID AS THOUGH WE
KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT
BUT FOR PEOPLE TUNING IN, WHAT
DOES THAT MEAN?
>> IT MEANS PRIMARY THIS
ADMINISTRATION HAS RUN FOR
JOURNALISTS ON TWITTER OUT OF A
COMP SHOP.
WE SAW THERE’S NOTHING OUT
JOURNALISTS TO GET BETTER
COVERAGE THROUGH JEN PSAKI AND
PAYING ATTENTION TO TWITTER
TREND AND NOT TO WHAT’S GOING ON
AND WHAT PEOPLE NEED AND THAT’S
WHY HE GETTING SCORN.
JOE MANCHIN IS NOT SHOWING UP
APARTMENT GALA, HE’S KNOWS HIS
CONSIST RINSE AND GOES TO WORK
FOR THEM AND WHETHER YOU
DISAGREE OR AGREE, THERE’S NOT
MUCH GETTING AROUND HIM SO I
THINK HE’S FIRING BACK ON THE
WHITE HOUSE, PEOPLE FORGET KAMALA HARRIS WENT TO WEST
KAMALA HARRIS WENT TO WEST
VIRGINIA WITHOUT NOTIFYING HIM
AND WENT ON RADIO AND SLAMMED
HIM SO IT’S HIS SUBTLE WAY OF
SAYING YOU NEED TO CUT THE
SHENANIGANS AND I’LL TALK TO THE
PRESIDENT WHEN HE’S AROUND, I
GUESS THAT’S ONE TO THREE OR
SOMETHING AND MAYBE THEN THEY
WILL CUT A DEAL BUT COMING OUT
SLAMMING HIM LIKE THEY DID
YESTERDAY ISN’T GOING TO DO IT. KENNEDY: IT’S INTERESTING
KENNEDY: IT’S INTERESTING
BECAUSE SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS
SAID THIS IS NOT HOW DEMOCRACY
WORKS.
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW DEMOCRACY
WORKS AND THAT’S WHY YOU VOTE
FOR A PARTICULAR SENATOR SO THAT
PERSON REPRESENTS YOUR NEEDS.
THIS IS A 50/50 SENATE, A LOT OF
AMERICANS FROM ANGRY
PROGRESSIVES WHO FEEL THERE’S A
MANDATE THAT DOES NOT EXIST.
>> I HEAR FOLKS OUT THERE WHO
ARE EXCITED ABOUT HIS DECISION
AND FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, JOE
MANCHIN TRIED TO NEGOTIATE WITH
THE WHITE HOUSE AND DEMOCRATS IN
THE UNITED STATES SENATE FOR THE
PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, EVERY
TIME HE SET A NEW BRIGHT LINE OR
REDLINE, DEMOCRAT SAID WE WILL
FOLLOW THAT LINE SO NOW THAT WE
GET TO THIS NEGOTIATION WE
SHOULD BE GETTING READY TO VOTE,
FOR HIM TO AUTOMATICALLY SAY I’M
GOING TO VOTE NO, IT SEEMS
DISINGENUOUS WHEN THE WHOLE TIME DEMOCRATS ARE WORKING ON THE
DEMOCRATS ARE WORKING ON THE
REDLINE AND WHAT YOU SET UP SO
THE BEGINNING OF THIS DEBATE, IF
HE WAS GOING TO BE A NO VOTE, HE
SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT THREE
MONTHS AGO BUT INSTEAD HE KEPT
IT GOING TO COME NOW DAYS BEFORE
CHRISTMAS BEFORE THE EARLY
INCOME TAX CHILD CREDIT RUNS OUT
SAY I’M A NO, THAT’S
DISINGENUOUS.
KENNEDY: I’M SORRY FOR THE CHILD
CARE TAX CREDIT WAS DISINGENUOUS
BECAUSE WHAT HE’S SAYING IS IT’S
CRUEL TO INCLUDE SOMETHING LIKE
THAT THAT ONLY EXISTS FOR ONE
YEAR AND THEN KEEP IT ADVERTISED
COST TO TAKE IT AWAY.
HE SAT THAT’S UNFAIR, THAT’S
CORPORATE IF YOU KEEP IT IN
THERE AND IT BECOMES A 3
TRILLION-DOLLAR BILL AND THAT’S
WHAT HE CANNOT GO BACK TO HIS
VOTERS AND TRY TO HAVE THEM
STOMACH.
I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
THIS, OLIVIA, I DON’T.
I DON’T CARE IF HE STAYS AT
DEMOCRAT OR BECOMES REPUBLICAN,
WHAT IT SHOWS TO ME IS THERE ARE
NOT TWO PARTIES IN THIS COUNTRY.
WE NEED A MULTIPARTY SYSTEM
BECAUSE YOU HAVE PEOPLE WITH
OBVIOUSLY VASTLY DIFFERENT
PHILOSOPHIES TRYING TO SHOEHORN
THEMSELVES INTO THIS TWO-PARTY
TENT.
>> EXACTLY.
THIS IS WHAT I HATE ABOUT
PARTISANSHIP HYPER POLARIZED
POLITICS, PEOPLE ARE ACTING LIKE
JOE MANCHIN IS A STRANGER TO THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND LEFTIST OR
LIBERAL VALLEYS WHEN HE’S
REPRESENTING HIS PEOPLE, HIS
CONSTITUENCY ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF
WEST VIRGINIA DO NOT WANT THE
BUILD BACK BETTER BUILT, SIMPLE
AS THAT.
HE’S NOT SERVING AOC OR JOE
BIDEN, HE’S NOT SERVING PROGRESSIVES IN CONGRESS AND THE
PROGRESSIVES IN CONGRESS AND THE
OTHER DEMOCRATIC SENATORS BY
MAKING THIS DECISION, HE’S
SERVING THE PEOPLE WHO PUT HIM
IN OFFICE.
WEST VIRGINIA IS A CONSERVATIVE
STATE AND IT’S A MIRACLE AT
DEMOCRAT IS IN OFFICE IN A
CONSERVATIVE STATE IN THE FIRST
PLACE SO HE’S GOING TO DO WHAT
THE PEOPLE WANT AND I’VE SEEN
EXPERTS SAY HE’S BASICALLY
SAVING AMERICA FROM FINANCIAL
ECONOMIC DISASTER.
WE ARE TRYING TO PASS A TRILLION
DOLLAR BILL WHEN WE ARE SEEING
MASSIVE INFLATION, MASSIVE
SPENDING, IT’S NOT THE RIGHT
MOVE FROM ANYWAY I LOOK AT IT.
KENNEDY: GREAT POINTS.
THE OTHER THING THE WHITE HOUSE
WASN’T ABLE TO DO IS EXPLAIN HOW
THE BILL WOULD STAVE OFF
INFLATION, THEY CAN’T BECAUSE
IT’S ONLY GOING TO EXACERBATED,
THAT IS OBVIOUS.
JEN PSAKI SAYS 17 NOBEL
PRIZE-WINNING ECONOMIST SAY THIS
IS GREAT AND IT’S ACTUALLY GOING
TO BE CHEAPER THAN NOTHING.
IF THAT’S NOT TRUE, IT’S FALSE.
THE BUILD BACK BETTER -- THAT’S
RIGHT, PAUL CAN EAT A SACK OF
NERDS.
THE BUILD BACK BETTER BLUNDER IS
THE LATEST IN AN AVALANCHE OF
FLAVORS BEARING COMPLETE BEACH
OF PRESIDENCY.
A NEW POLL SHOWS HIS APPROVAL
RATING IS DOWN TO 41% AFTER
TAKING THE ECONOMY, PARTLY COVID
MANDATES, FLOODING THE BORDER
BOTCHING THE AFGHANISTAN
WITHDRAWAL SO WITH PAUL’S LIKE
THIS, BUT BECAUSE THE BITING
TEAM TO RETHINK THEIR UNPOPULAR
AGENDA OR JUST KEEP DOUBLING
DOWN ON THE SAME FAILED POLICIES WHICH OFTENTIMES INCLUDES
WHICH OFTENTIMES INCLUDES
THROWING MONEY AT EVERYTHING.
>> THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO CHANGE
COURSE.
JOE BIDEN WAS ELECTED PRIMARILY
ON ONE THING, GETTING COVID
UNDER CONTROL, HE SAID THAT TIME
AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AND
INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON THAT AND
GETTING HOME TESTING AND FAST
TRACKING THERAPEUTICS AND OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATIONS, HE
OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATIONS, HE
DECIDED TO SCRUB AFGHANISTAN AND
THEN DECIDED WE ARE GOING TO
PUSH BUILD BACK BETTER AND THEN
DECIDED WE’RE GOING TO TRY AND
GET INFRASTRUCTURE DONE WHICH
THEY DID, GOOD JOB AND YOU
EARNED YOUR 40% APPROVAL I GUESS
SO PEOPLE ARE DUMB, THEY SEE HE
WAS ELECTED KIND OF ON THIS
NATIONS EMBASSY INCOMPETENCE AND
WE HAVEN’T SEEN CONFIDENCE
UNCOVERED OR EMPATHY WITH THE
AFGHANISTAN PULLOUT AND HE
HASN’T RECOVERED FROM THAT.
IF HE HAD GOTTEN MORE OF COVID
UNDER CONTROL AT THE BEGINNING
OF HIS TERM, THAT HE PROBABLY
COULD HAVE PUSHED BUILD BACK
BETTER OR WHATEVER BUT THEY
DECIDED NOT TO DO THAT, THEY
DECIDED TO USE IT TO THEIR
ADVANTAGE TO GET ALL OF THIS
SHIPPED THROUGH AND HERE WE ARE
TODAY WE IMPLEMENT THINK MASK
MANDATE, SCHOOLS ARE SHUTTING
DOWN, A NEW VARIANT THAT’S
COMPLETE PANIC OUTSIDE IN PLACES
LIKE NEW YORK AND D.C. AND
THERE’S A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THAT.
KENNEDY: HE DOES, HE SAID HE
WOULD GET A HANDLE ON THE VIRUS
AND HE’S GOING TO DEFEAT THE
VIRUS WITH HIS THEIR BONY HANDS.
THAT HASN’T HAPPENED SO IS THAT
INCOMPETENCE, LACK OF FOCUS?
IT’S GOT TO BE MORE THAN OPTICS,
THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING MORE
THAN THAT.
>> I THINK THERE’S NO QUESTION
THERE IS TROUBLE FROM THIS WHITE
HOUSE.
I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT COVID
CLEARLY, HE WILL SEE UNDER JOE
BIDEN WE GOT MORE AMERICANS
VACCINATED THAN EVER,.
>> AND MORE AMERICANS DEAD WE
MET THE VARIANT, WAIT A MINUTE, I DIDN’T INTERRUPT YOU, TO BE
I DIDN’T INTERRUPT YOU, TO BE
CLEAR, I THINK IT DOESN’T TAKE
AWAY FROM THE FACT WE ARE LIVING
WITH TO VARIANT MORE SEVERE THAN
THE FIRST COVID VARIANT, ONE IS
SICKER AND ONE IS SPREADING
FASTER, THE OMICRON VARIANT.
THE WHITE HOUSE IS TRYING TO
HANDLE BOTH SITUATIONS.
TO SAY IT’S ALL DOOM AND GLOOM,
I THINK THAT’S WRONG
PERSPECTIVE.
KENNEDY: IT NOT ALL GREAT AND
THAT IS THE PROBLEM, FLYING TO
PEOPLE AND TRYING TO PRETEND
EVERYTHING IS GREAT, OLIVIA,
WHEN PEOPLE WALK AROUND AND YET
AGAIN ARE IN MASKS AND KIDS
AREN’T GOING TO SCHOOL, THEY ARE
GOING BACK TO REMOTE LEARNING
AND A LOT OF PLACES LIKE NEW
YORK CITY AND MEAT, GAS AND
BANANAS AND EVERYTHING IS
COSTING WAY MORE, THAT’S MORE
IMPORTANT TO PEOPLE THAN
MESSAGING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
SO WHAT DO WE DO TO FIX IT?
>> THAT’S WAY MORE IMPORTANT AND
FOR VACCINATION, WE ARE SEEING
AS AN OUTCAST ALL HAVE COVID AND
DOUBLE VACCINATED, PROBABLY HAVE
THEIR 15th BOOSTER AND THEY
STILL GOT THE NEW VARIANT SO MY
VIEW IS WE SHOULD BE WORRYING
ABOUT THINGS WE CAN CHANGE OR
FIX ABOUT THE BUILD BACK BETTER
IS NOT ONE THING WE SHOULD BE
USING TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION.
LIKE YOU SAID, THERE ARE SUPPLY
CHAIN ISSUES AND INFLATION,
CROSS GAS HAS GONE UP, CHICKEN,
A WHOLE CHICKEN IS $20 NOW.
THERE’S SO MANY MORE IMPORTANT
THINGS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING
BEEN TRYING TO GIVE BIDEN CREDIT
FOR INCREASED VACCINATIONS.
IN NEW YORK CITY, 28% OF YOUNG
BLACK PEOPLE BETWEEN 18 -- 44
OUR VACCINATED AND MAKING NEW
YORK CITY SEGREGATED AGAIN BUT
JIM CROW SHOW DOESN’T WANT TO
ADDRESS THAT, HE JUST WANTS TO
TALK ABOUT MEANINGLESS
MESSAGING.
KENNEDY: I HAVE NOT HEARD THAT
NICKNAME.
[LAUGHTER]
THANK YOU.
THEY ARE ALSO NOT BEING HONEST
ABOUT THAT, ADDRESSING THAT, THEY JUST WANT TO BLAME THE
THEY JUST WANT TO BLAME THE
UNVACCINATED AND THE GIANT M AGA
BLOB.
IT’S MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT.
THERE’S A REASON PEOPLE HAVE A
GREAT DEAL OF DISTRUST FOR THE
GOVERNMENT, YOU’RE NOT GOING TO
