KENNEDY: WILL THE
PROGRESSIVE’S AND POST- SWING
AND THE PUSH FOR A FEDERAL
MINIMUM WAGE HIKE OF $15 AN
HOUR THAT WILL CRUSH LOW
SKILLED WORKERS, DECIMATE
SMALL BUSINESS AND BOOST MASS
CORPORATIONS WHO WILL FROM
SMALLER COMPETITORS GOING BUST.
BERNIE SANDERS HAS BEEN
BENDING TO BIDEN’S FRAGILE EAR
ENOUGH TO MAKE A NEW PRESIDENT
SAY THIS.
>> WHILE I DO THINK THAT WE
SHOULD HAVE A MINIMUM WAGE
STAND BY ITSELF, $15 AN HOUR
AND WORK YOUR WAY UP TO 15, IT
DOESN’T HAVE TO BE ALL PETE
ALL THE ECONOMY SHOWS IF YOU
DO THAT THE WHOLE ECONOMY
RISES.
KENNEDY: OR IT COLLAPSES LIKE
A FAILED SOUFFLÉ.
SOUNDS APPETIZING BEFORE YOU
MAKE IT, BUT IN REALITY, IT IS
A DISASTER BUT MINIMUM WAGE
LAWS GEOGRAPHICALLY BRUTAL
BECAUSE WAGES FLUCTUATE AS
MUCH AS ACCENTS AND MULLETS
AND A GREAT NATION.
IN MASSACHUSETTS THE AVERAGE
HOURLY WAGE IS $31.58.
BY THE MISSISSIPPI ITALY
$19.27.
IT’S A ONE SIZE FITS ALL
FEDERAL EDICT HAS DRASTIC
CONSEQUENCES.
IN PLACES THAT CANNOT AFFORD
THE PEDRO.
AND MANY BUSINESSES WHO HAVE
BEEN HARDEST HIT BY THE
PANDEMIC CLOSE OR LAYOFF NEW
AND LESSER TRAINED EMPLOYEES.
YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
MOST DISENFRANCHISED, WHO ARE
IN THE GREATEST NEED OF BEING
LIFTED OUT OF POVERTY,
RESTAURANTS, RETAIL,
TRANSPORTATION, THESE ARE ALL
SECTORS THAT RELY ON NEW
LABOR.
BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO
ELIMINATE JOBS AND INCREASED
COST TO COMPLY.
GOD I HATE THE WORD
COMPLIANCE.
SO WHO IS MOST SUCKER PUNCHED
BY THIS GOUGING?
PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY BROKE,
WHO NOW BE FORCED TO PAY MORE,
THANKS TO BIG GOVERNMENT
WEAKNESSES.
TO PERPETUATE THE CRUEL SYSTEM
THAT HAS SHOWN WILL COST ONE
POINT BY 2025 PART AND WHAT, WHEN YOUR JOB IS A MINIMUM
WHEN YOUR JOB IS A MINIMUM
WAGE CASUALTY, JEN PSAKI
MINIMUM WAGE HIKES HAVE
MINIMAL IMPACT ON EMPLOYMENT,
WILL TELL THAT TO THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE NOW ON FOOD STAMPS
BECAUSE HER JOB IS NO
AUTOMATED OR OBLITERATED.
AND WHAT THE HELL DID THESE
GOVERNMENT LACKEYS KNOW?
THEY WILL ALWAYS BE GAINFULLY
EMPLOYED BY THE BUREAUCRATIC
BEAST AND HAVE ZERO PERSPECTIVE ON REALITY LIVING
PERSPECTIVE ON REALITY LIVING
IN THEIR GOVERNMENT CLASS.
IT SEEMS BENEVOLENCE, IT DOES
MORE HARM THAN THESE DISHONEST
AGENTS WILL EVER ADMIT?
FOR NOW IT’S ALL MALARKEY.
PRESIDENT BIDEN HIMSELF ADMITS
IT WON’T BE PART OF THE ALMOST
2 TRILLION-DOLLAR COVE IN
PACKAGE.
IT’S A PAIN ESTATE TO THE
STATIST SAVAGERY.
SMALL BUSINESSES AND THE
UNDEREMPLOYED ARE SAFER NOW,
AT LEAST UNTIL MAJORITY OF
CRAZY PINKO’S ARE FINALLY
RUNNING THE ASYLUM.
AND THAT IS THE MEMO.
DISCUSSIONS ON MINIMUM WAGE
USUALLY CENTER ON THE EFFECTS
FOR THE PERSON EARNING THE
WAGE GROUP OF BUSINESSES
THEMSELVES OFTEN GET HURT THE
MOST RATED FACTS, A RECENT
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS FOUND
MANY MINIMUM WAGE INCREASES
NEED TO LOWER BANK CREDIT,
HIGHER DEFAULTS, LOWER
UNEMPLOYMENT, LOWER ENTRY, AND
A HIGHER EXIT RATE FOR SMALL
BUSINESSES.
IN OTHER WORDS, IT MAKES IT
HARDER FOR COMPANIES,
ESPECIALLY SMALL COMPANIES TO
START AND OPERATE.
IF THEY CAN’T OPERATE THEY
CANNOT HIRE.
AND CERTAINLY THEY CAN’T PAY
FOR EMPLOYEES.
DOLLARS AN HOUR OR ANYTHING
ELSE FOR THAT MATTER.
SO WHY DO WE KEEP SPINNING ON
THIS ECONOMIC MERRY-GO-ROUND?
LET’S GET INTO IT WITH
TONIGHT’S FANTASTIC PARTY
PAL.
FROM THE WASHINGTON TIMES IT
GOT OPINION EDITOR FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR CHARLIE HERTZBERG
ALONG WITH FORMER LIBERTARIAN
PARTY INVITES PERSONAL
CANDIDATE SPIKE : IS ON THE
PARTY PANEL.
AN DEMOCRATIC POLLSTER AND FOX
NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, MY FRIEND
JESSICA TARLOV.
HELLO EVERYONE WELCOMED TO THE
SHOW LET’S DO THIS TOGETHER.
♪
♪ >> HELLO.
SUBJECT THINK YOU CAN BECOME
THINGS ARE HAVING US ON.
BEFORE THANKS CHARLIE HURT
WILL START WITH YOU.
DEMOCRATS ARE TALKING ABOUT A
MINIMUM WAGE HIKE AT BEING THE
WHILE THAT WILL FUEL ECONOMIC
REINVIGORATION.
BUT WHAT REALLY REINVIGORATE
IN ECONOMY?
>> WELL, NOT THAT TO BE SURE.
I’VE DONE A LITTLE TEST OVER
THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR
EVERY SMALL BUSINESS THAT I
WALK INTO AND I TRY TO ONLY GO
TO SMALL BUSINESSES.
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM I
GOING TO ASK EVERY ONE OF
THEM, HOW ABOUT $15 MINIMUM
WAGE?
AND THEY ALL, THEY TURN GHOST
WHITE.
AND THE REASON IS, YOU’VE
TOUCHED ON ALL OF IT.
THESE COMPANIES THAT HAVE
MANAGED TO SURVIVE, THE WORST
DOWNTURN IN THE HISTORY OF
THIS COUNTRY, THEY SURVIVE THE
PANDEMIC.
THEY HAVE PULLED OUT, THEY
HAVE DONE EVERYTHING IN THEIR
POWER TO STAY OPEN AND TO
CLING TO SOME STORM SEMBLANCE
OF LIFE FOR THE IDEA THAT
THESE POLITICIANS IN
WASHINGTON WOULD EVEN BE
TALKING ABOUT THIS AT A MOMENT
LIKE THIS IT WOULD OBLITERATE
ANYONE WHO HAS MANAGED TO
SURVIVE THIS LONG.
IT WOULD OBLITERATE THEM.
AND AS YOU POINT OUT, ALL THIS
IS AS IT IS A JOB KILLER.
IT DOES NOTHING TO HELP ANYONE.
IT’S TRULY DEVASTATING.
KENNEDY: IT IS DEVASTATING BUT
NOT FOR PLACES LIKE AMAZON,
SPICA, BECAUSE BIG
CORPORATIONS LIKE THAT, YOU’RE
A SELF IMPOSED WAGE, WHICH
THEY ARTY HAVE.
BUT THEY ALSO KNOW THAT IT IS
THE THING THAT WILL CRUSH
SMALLER COMPETITORS.
AND THAT’S WHY SCRAPER BIG
BUSINESSES WHO OFTEN COWRITE
MASSIVE ENTITLEMENT
LEGISLATION LIKE OBAMACARE.
KNOWING THEY WILL BE FAVORED
THROUGH IT ALL.
BEST NOT ONLY THAT IT ALSO
CREATES THE ECONOMIC
CONDITIONS FRIEND TO PAY THEIR
EMPLOYEES EVEN LESS.
WHEN YOU CREATE CONDITIONS
WHERE THE DEMAND FOR SOMETHING
GOES DOWN ON THE SUPPLY FOR
SOMETHING GOES UP, THAT CREEDS
AND LET THE PERSON CONSUMING
THAT THING IN THIS CASE
AMERICAN LABOR PAY LESS FOR
THAT THING.
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THESE JOB
KILLING AND DATES AND ALL THE
THINGS THE BASERUNNING
CORPORATIONS PUSH FOR TO
PROTECT THE WORKER THE REALITY
IS IT’S ABOUT THEIR SMALLER
COMPETITORS OUT OF BUSINESS
AND TO MAKE IT SO THEY CAN
CHARGE LESS, THEY CAN PAY LESS
FOR THAT AMERICAN LABOR.
IF WE DO THE OPPOSITE, WE
DEREGULATE GET RID OF THE
ABSURD JOB CRUSHING REGULATION
BECAUSE THE VALUE OF AMERICAN
LABOR TO GO UP, THE DEMAND FOR
TO GO UP, THE NUMBER OF
AMERICANS AND FOR GOOD JOBS TO
GO DOWN BECAUSE THEY ARTY HAVE
THE JOB SO THEY’RE ABLE TO
START THEIR OWN BUSINESS, THAT
LEADS TO INCREASES IN WAGES
WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE ANY
KIND OF MANDATES OR ANYTHING
THAT’S GOING TO HURT JOBS IN
THE PROCESS.
BEFORE SPIKE THIS ARE ALL
FANTASTIC POINT THAT’S WHY
YOU’RE HERE.
BUT JESSICA, THE FEAR ISN’T
THIS IS A MINIMUM WAGE FOR THE
FEAR IS THIS BECOMES THE
MAXIMUM WAGE.
AND THEN THERE IS ECONOMIC
STAGNATION FOR MILLIONS AND
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS BECAUSE
YOU NO LONGER HAVE THE
POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH PRETTY
FACTOR JUST PUT A CEILING ON
MOST OF THE ECONOMY.
>> THAT’S AN INTERESTING SPIN
ON IT.
I HAVE NOT HEARD THAT MUCH
ABOUT THAT BEING THE ISSUE
WITH THIS.
I’VE HEARD THE REAL ISSUE THAT
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS WHO ARE DOLTS
RAISING FAMILIES AND PUTTING
FOOD ON THE TABLE, EARNING WAY
LESS THAN $15 AN HOUR.
SOMETIMES HAVING TO TAKE TWO
JOBS TO SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES.
THERE IS A FALLACY OUT THERE
THAT MINIMUM WAGE EARNERS ARE
TEENAGERS OR RECENT GRADUATES
OR PEOPLE IN THEIR YOUNG
20s, THAT IS NOT TROOPER
THEIR PEOPLE IN THE 30s,
40s, 50s ET CETERA.
PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD TO
SURVIVE ON HIS LOW-LEVEL WAGES
WE HAVE.
AT SEVEN AND A QUARTER ON THE
FEDERAL LEVEL.
I THINK WE ARE ALL SENSIBLE
PEOPLE ON THIS PANEL.
WE CAN AGREE IT NEEDS TO COME
UP FROM THERE PRESERVE 100
ECONOMISTS WHO ALL WON NOBEL
PRIZES THAT SAID 1010 WOULD
HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE ECONOMY
BUT GO TO 1010, CLINTON
SUPPORTED 12-DOLLAR WAYS OF
THE PERCENT DEMOCRATS WERE A
FEW YEARS AGO.
BEFORE I WANT SPIKE.
>> NO ONE WILL HAVE THAT
DISCUSSION WAS NOT ABOUT
BUSINESS IS ABOUT PEOPLE’S
ABOUT AMERICANS.
>> THIS IS ABOUT PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO LOSE MILLIONS OF JOBS
AS A RESULT OF THE ECONOMIC
EXPERTS WE ARE HEARING ABOUT
PUT US IN THE MESS WERE IN
RIGHT NOW FOR THEY KEEP GIVING
US THE NEXT SET OF EDICTS OF
WHAT’S WHEN TO FIX THIS
ECONOMIC MESS.
THAT THEY PUT US IN THE SYSTEM
WITH THE NEWEST ONE FOR THE
REALITY IS WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT PEOPLE.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE
WHO WILL GET THE REAL MINIMUM
WAGE IS A RESULT OF THIS JOB.
THE REAL MINIMUM WAGES WHEN
YOU LOSE YOUR JOB AND YOU GET
$0.0 AN HOUR.
KENNEDY: THAT’S THE JOB THAT
MATTERS.
WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR JOB THAT’S
THE JOB THAT MATTERS THE
MOST.
THE PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON THE
ONES THAT ARE DICTATING THE
EDICT, THEY WILL NEVER LOSE
THEIR JOBS.
THEY WILL ALWAYS HAVE A
GOVERNMENT TO FALL BACK ON
WITH PENSION.
THEIR DIVORCE FROM REALITY.
SO WE TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THE PANDEMIC AND HOW A MINIMUM
WAGE HIKE WOULD AFFECT
COMPANIES MOST AFFECTED BY THE
PANDEMIC.
NOW LET’S TALK BUT THE ORIGINS
OF IT.
THE HEAVILY CHINESE INFLUENCE
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION,
THEY JUST TOOK A FIELD TRIP ON
CHINA.
THEY FINISH ALONG WITH THEIR
INVESTIGATION INTO THE ORIGINS
OF THE VIRUS SPREAD LO AND
BEHOLD THEY SAY IT PROBABLY
DID NOT COME FROM THE WUHAN
LAB AT ALL.
INSTEAD AT A PRESS COVER SIT
IN THE INTERNATIONAL OF
INVESTIGATORS ANNOUNCED IT’S
HIGHLY UNLIKELY ESCAPE FROM
THE LAB.
THEY SAY THE NEXT TARGET OF
INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE FARMS
AND SUPPLY CHAINS IN SOUTHEAST
ASIA THEY DO BUSINESS WITH
HARD MARKETS.
FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE
POMPEO SAYS NOT SO FAST.
>> I HOPE THEY GOT TO SEE ALL
THE DATA COME ALL THE SIGNS
INTO THE LAB, TALK TO THE
DOCTORS COME INTERVIEW THEM
COME INTERVIEW THEM IN PRIVATE
IN PLACES WHERE THEY COULD
ACTUALLY TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT
WHAT TOOK PLACE.
NOT UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A
COMMUNIST PARTY PERSON SITTING
IN THE BACK OF ROOM MAKING
SURE THEY TOE THE COMMUNIST
PARTY LINE.
I CONTINUATION OTHER
SIGNIFICANT EVIDENCE THIS
WEIGHT MAIL HAVE COME FROM THE
LIBRARY.
>> IN OTHER WORDS IT DOES NOT
SMELL LIKE TEAM SPIRIT SPELLS
LIKE A COVER PRICE OF THE
W.H.O. COVERING FOR THEIR
CHINESE MASTERS?
CHARLIE, I DON’T BELIEVE IT.
IT TOOK ALMOST A YEAR OF
NEGOTIATIONS TO GET THAT TEAM
INTO THE COUNTRY.
CHINA WAS COMPLETELY OPAQUE,
LEARN IS WHAT THEY DO WITH ANY
EVIDENCE BETWEEN THEN AND
NOW.
WHEN I THINK IT A SHAM
INVESTIGATION YOUR THOUGHTS?
>> HOME I GOT US AT SUCH A
SHAM INVESTIGATION.
IT’S OBVIOUS ANY NORMAL PERSON
AND BY NORMAL PERSON I MEAN
ANYONE WHO ISN’T IN WASHINGTON
MAKING ALL THE RULES AROUND
HERE HERE.
THAT FROM THE BEGINNING CHINA
HAS BEEN A BAD ACTOR.
HOW BAD OF AN ACTOR?
WE DON’T KNOW.
I’M NOT SUGGESTING THIS WAS
INTENTIONAL.
BUT IT CERTAINLY RAISES A LOT
OF QUESTIONS.
I DON’T THINK WE CAN SAY IT’S
NOT INTENTIONAL.
CHINA HAS BEEN A BAD ACTOR AT
EVERY SINGLE STEP OF THE WAY.
WHETHER IT WAS ALERTING OTHER
COUNTRIES TO THE DISEASE,
WHETHER IT WAS COOPERATING
WITH OTHER COUNTRIES IN TERMS
OF HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ON HOW
TO SUPPRESS IT, THE W.H.O. HAS
BEEN AN ENABLER FROM THE
BEGINNING.
THEY HAVE WORKED AT THE BEHEST
OF THE CHINESE COMET’S
GOVERNMENT TO HELP COVER IT
UP.
AND TO STYMIE EFFORTS TO GET
TO THE BOTTOM OF ALL OF THIS.
BUT IT IS SO CLEARLY OBVIOUS
TO EVERYBODY WHO IS NOT IN
WASHINGTON.
IT’S KIND OF LIKE THE MINIMUM
WAGE THING.
IS IT JUST A COINCIDENCE THESE
BIG COMPANIES THAT BENEFIT
FROM A HIGHER MINIMUM WAGE,
THAT THEY HAVE ALL THE
LOBBYISTS IN WASHINGTON?
WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?
WHO IS WASHINGTON WORKING
FOR?
I DON’T KNOW IT’S REALLY
CURIOUS.
KENNEDY: LOOK AT ALL THE
PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN SICK FROM
THE VIRUS AND HAVE DIED,
JESSICA, CHINA’S REACTION TO
ALL THAT HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY
CRUEL.
THEY ARE TREATING THE REST OF
THE WORLD LIKE A WEAKER CAMP.
ON THE FACTS I HAVE LACKED
SUCH TRANSPARENCY IS
CONDEMNABLE, YOUR THOUGHTS?
ABSOLUTELY.
I THINK THAT REPORTING ELASTIC
ABOUT THE SENATE RACE THAT
GOES ON IN THOSE CAMPS IS SOME
OF THE MOST HARROWING THAT IT
EVER READ IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
I’M REALLY TORN ABOUT THIS.
WE ARE ALL IN AGREEMENT CAN
END THE SHOW, FINALLY I HAVE
ONE.
[LAUGHTER]
THE W.H.O. WAS VERY DIFFICULT
TO TRUST AT THIS POINT.
OBVIOUSLY THE CHINESE, WHETHER
IT CAME FROM EIGHT PENGUIN AND
A WET MARKETER ONE OTHER LAB
CERTAIN JANELLE AND PHIL AND
THE REST THE WORLD OF WHAT WAS
GOING ON MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
ARE DEAD AS A RESULT OF THAT.
THAT WE KNOW AS A BLANKET
STATEMENT.
I’VE RECENTLY LISTENED TO A
FEW PODCASTS THAT FEATURE
SCIENTISTS THAT BELIEVE THE
SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY IS NEAR
UNANIMOUS IN BELIEVING THIS
DID MOST LIKELY COME FROM THE
LAB, WHICH REFUTES THE DEBBIE
WITCHEL REPORT PRETTY REALLY
HOPE YOU’RE ABLE TO GET TO THE
BOTTOM OF THIS BECAUSE IF THIS
HAPPENS AGAIN WE SEE MORE OF
THE STRAINS THAT ARE MORE
HARSH, MORE VIRILE THE AFRICAN ONE IS BLOWN UP WITH
ONE IS BLOWN UP WITH
ASTRAZENECA.
>> ’S GOING TO MUTATE AND BURY
ITSELF IN ORDER TO FIND NEW
HOSTS.
I MY WORRY HERE SPIKE IS THERE
COULD BE ANOTHER PANDEMIC THAT
IS WORSE THAN THIS ONE.
SOPHIE CAN’T GET TO THE BOTTOM
OF THIS, WHICH COULD BE A TEST
RUN, WHAT ON EARTH IS THE
FUTURE LOOK LIKE?
>> THE THING IS I DON’T TRUST
ANY PROTO- COMMUNIST TO
BELIEVE THAT THE ANSWER TO
EVERYTHING IS TO EXERT GREATER
GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
AND FOR THAT MATTER DON’T
TRUST THE CHINESE GOT THERE.
THE WORLD HEALTH YEAR OF
NEGOTIATIONS BE ABLE TO GET
IN.
AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT
ONE OF THE THEORIES THAT WOULD
COMPLETELY BLOW OUT ALL OF THE
CONVENTIONAL THINKING AS TO
HOW THIS VIRUS WAS CREATED AND
PROBABLY NOT LIKELY POSSIBLE
THE FACT THAT ONE OF THE
MAXIMUM-SECURITY BIO LABS WAS
A DEAD CENTER ON THE MIDDLE
WHERE THIS VIRUS IS EXPECTED
TO ORIGINATE FROM.
FOR THEM TO SAY OH WELL IT’S
NOT LIKELY JUST NOT EVEN GOING
TO LOOK INTO IT.
THAT IS CIRCULAR LOGIC IT’S
THE OPPOSITE OF THE SCIENTIFIC
METHOD WORKS FOR YOU TEST THE
HYPOTHESIS.
I THINK FOR THEM TO EVEN GET
IN THEY HAD TO AGREE TO NOT
EVEN LOOK INTO THAT IN THE
FIRST PHASE SETS WERE TO
CLEAR.
>> IT SO 2018 THERE TABLES OF
U.S. DIPLOMATS SING THEIR
BRAVE SECURITY CONCERNS ABOUT
THAT WUHAN LAB.
SO THERE ARE SO MANY OMINOUS
