MARIA: AND SENATOR JOE MANCHIN
DEALING A CRUSHING BLOW TO
PRESIDENT BIDEN’S AGENDA AND
DEMOCRATS AHEAD OF MIDTERM
ELECTIONS.
THE WEST VIRGINIA DEMOCRAT
TELLING MAJORITY LEADER CHUCK
SCHUMER THAT HE WILL NOT SUPPORT
A SPENDING PACKAGE WITH CLIMATE
PROVISIONS OR NEW TAX INCREASES
ON COMPANIES OR WEALTHY
INDIVIDUALS.
IT COMES AS THE NATION FACES 13
STRAIGHT MONTHS OF SURGING
INFLATION AS DEMOCRATS ARE STILL
TRYING TO GET THROUGH A
RECONCILIATION PACKAGE WHICH
INCLUDES HIGHER TAXES AND
TRILLIONS IN MORE SPENDING.
MANCHIN’S OFFICE RELEASED A
STATEMENT SAYING IN PART, IT’S
TIME FOR LEADERS TO PUT
POLITICAL AGENDAS ASIDE,
REEVALUATE AND ADJUST ECONOMIC
REALITIES THE COUNTRY FACES TO
AVOID TAKING STEPS THAT ADD FUEL
TO THE INFLATION FIRE.
JOINING THE CONVERSATION ALL
MORNING LONG THIS MORNING IS FOX
BUSINESS DAGEN MCDOWELL, KEN
HAHONEY, GREAT TO SEE EVERYBODY
THIS MORNING, THANKS FOR BEING
HERE.
DAGEN, YOU TO GIVE IT TO JOE
MANCHIN.
HE’S STICKING TO HIS GUNS EVEN
AS CHUCK SCHUMER PUSHES AND
PUSHES AND I WILL POINT OUT THAT
THE DEADLINE TO GET A
RECONCILIATION PACKAGE IS
APPROACHING AND THEY CAN’T DO
MUCH AFTER SEPTEMBER 30TH SO
CHUCK SCHUMER WANTS SOMETHING
DONE BEFORE SEPTEMBER 30TH.
JOE MAN CHIP MANCHIN IS NOT HAVI
WITH INFLATION IN 40 YEAR HIGHS.
DAGEN: THEY DON’T SEE IT AS A
PROBLEM FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
AS THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
POINTED OUT THE OTHER DAY,
AMERICANS ARE SUFFERING THE
LARGEST REDUCTION IN REAL WAGES
SINCE THE 1970’s AND
THANKFULLY THERE IS SOME REALISM
AND EVEN FINANCIAL WISDOM IN
WASHINGTON WHICH YOU SEE IN THE
FORM OF JOE MANCHIN SAYING WE
ARE NOT SPENDING ANOTHER DIME
MAKING INFLATION WORSE AND WE
ARE NOT GOING TO RAISE TAXES NOT
EVEN ON CORPORATIONS BECAUSE
THAT WILL HIT THE SUPPLY SIDE AT
A TIME BECAUSE OF THE FED
RESERVE WE ARE GOING INTO A
RECESSION IF WE ARE NOT ALREADY
IN ONE.
AND I LOVE THE HEADLINE ON "THE
NEW YORK TIMES" WEBSITE ABOUT
THIS, MANCHIN REJECTS CLIMATE
AND TAX TALKS, A CRUSHING BLOW
TO BIDEN’S AGENDA.
KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE CRUSHING
BLOW AFTER BLOW TO THE AMERICAN
WAY OF LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS
FISCAL POLICY AND BECAUSE OF
THIS MONETARY POLICY.
MARIA: YEAH, AND WHY SHOULD
ANYBODY BE SURPRISED?
I MEAN, LOOK, WHAT HAS HAPPENED
IN THE LAST YEAR WITH INFLATION
GOING 1.4% TO NOW 9.1%.
KEN, AS IF THEY’RE NOT LISTENING
AT ALL TO EVEN THINK ABOUT
PUSHING FURTHER SPENDING AND
HIGHER TAXES.
WE ARE ABOUT TO GET ANOTHER
POTENTIALLY 1-POINT RATE HIKE
MAKING OUR BORROWING THAT MUCH
MORE THAT EXPENSIVE.
HIGHER BORROWING COSTS, HIGHER
FOOD AND HIGHER INFLATION AND
NOW CHUCK SCHUMER AND THE
DEMOCRATS WANT TO RAISE TAXES.
>> NICE.
THE ONLY ADULT IN THE ROOM,
SERIOUSLY.
WASHINGTON, D.C. WILL BE A STATE
RIGHT NOW.
NINE FOR JUSTICES IN THE SUPREME
COURT, KILL THE FILIBUSTER, PASS
THE CAPITALIST RATE AND
SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST THE
ECONOMY AND THE SPENDING
PROGRAM, AREN’T GOING DIRECTLY
TO IT WAS TARGETED.
IT WAS GOING TO FAVORITE CITIES
AND FAVORITE MAYORS AND THANK
GOD FOR MANCHIN, ONLY ADULT IN
THE ROOM THAT PREVENTED THINGS
THAT ARE NOT RECOGNIZABLE IF NOT
FOR HIM.
DAGEN: HEY, MARIA, CAN I ADD ONE
QUICK THING.
DAGEN: I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO
THE VIEWERS BECAUSE I KNOW
WHENEVER I TALK ABOUT THIS EVEN
AT 6:05 IN THE MORNING, IT LOOKS
LIKE I’VE BEEN SHOUT-OUT OF A
CANNON BUT MAKES ME ANGRY IT’S
BEEN BROUGHT ON THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE BECAUSE THIS DANGEROUS
INFLATION WAS COMPLETELY
AVOIDABLE.
I JUST WANTED TO APOLOGIZE.
I FULLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I’M
LIKE LOSING MY HEAD A LITTLE BIT
BUT I THINK EVERYBODY IS.
MARIA: NO, NO.
I DON’T THINK SO, DAGEN.
I THINK VIEWERS APPRECIATE YOUR
HONESTY.
THAT’S WHAT I ALWAYS HEAR AND
SEE ON TWITTER AND ON TRUTH
SOCIAL.
PEOPLE APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT
YOU KEEP IT REAL AND TELL US IF
IT’S NOT TRUE, VIEWERS, I’M
PRETTY SURE THEY WANT TO HEAR AS
IT IS, DAGEN.
SO I APPRECIATE YOU AND I AM
GRATEFUL BECAUSE, LOOK,
EVERYTHING THAT YOU’RE SAYING IS
SPOT-ON.
WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS
FOR A YEAR AND A HALF AND
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, THIS
ADMINISTRATION AND THE DEMOCRAT
PARTY WANTS TO GET THEIR AGENDA
THROUGH NO MATTER WHAT AND IT’S
A WHOLE GOVERNMENT APPROACH
WHETHER IT’S THE SEC, NEW RULES
ON CORPORATIONS OR THE
LEADERSHIP TRYING TO RAISE YOUR
TAXES.
IT’S INCREDIBLE THAT THEY ARE
CONTINUING THIS.
DAGEN: BACK AT YOU.
