>> JIMMY CARTER CALLED AND HE
WANTS HIS PRESIDENCY BACK.
THE WHITE HOUSE IS REPORTEDLY
WORRIED ABOUT THE STRONG
PARALLELS THAT EXIST BETWEEN JOE
BIDEN AND FORMER PRESIDENT
CARTER AS MORE VOTERS NOTICE
IT’S THE ’70s ALL OVER AGAIN.
AMERICANS ARE WAKING UP TO NEW
RECORD HIGH GAS PRICES.
THE NATIONWIDE AVERAGE IS ALMOST
AT $5 A GALLON.
INFLATION IS TAKING A MAJOR BITE
OUT OF EVERYONE’S BUDGET.
83% OF AMERICANS SAY THE ECONOMY
IS POOR OR NOT SO GOOD UNDER
BIDEN.
WHILE THINGS ARE LOOKING DIRE
FOR JOE, HE’S FINDING SOME
SUPPORT OUT THERE.
>> I THINK WHAT PRESIDENT BIDEN
SAVED THE ECONOMY.
THEY CAME BACK WITH COVID
PACKAGES THAT PUT MONEY IN THE
ECONOMY.
THE ECONOMY IS NOT DOING BAD AT
ALL.
IT’S TIME FOR DEMOCRATS TO TAKE
CREDIT FOR GOOD THINGS OUT
THERE, AND THERE IS A LOT OF IT.
>> GREG, FOR SOME REASON, I
THINK THERE’S A DISCONNECT
BETWEEN WHAT THAT GUY WAS SAYING
AND THE FACT THAT AMERICANS ARE
FEELING, 83% OF THEM, THAT THE
COUNTRY IS CERTAINLY GOING IN A
BAD DIRECTION, AND THEY’RE NOT
FEELING GOOD ABOUT THE ECONOMY.
HE SAYS WHAT PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS
DONE WAS REALLY TO SAVE THE
ECONOMY.
THEY CAME IN WITH A COVID
PACKAGE.
>> CLEARLY THIS GUY DOESN’T
DRIVE, DOESN’T KNOW THE PRICES
OF THINGS.
IT’S LIKE THE WHITE HOUSE
RESPONSE WHEN, YOU KNOW, "SORRY,
WE CAN’T HELP YOU.
AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL, THINGS
ARE GREAT, SO IT MIGHT BE YOU.
IT COULD BE YOU."
THE WHITE HOUSE IS RUN LIKE A
TELEMARKETING IF I WERE.
IT’S LIKE THEY CALL YOU WHEN
THEY NEED YOUR BUSINESS, BUT
NEVER PICK UP AFTER YOU ALREADY
PAID AND YOU GOT THE PACKAGE AND
IT’S ALL BROKEN AND IT TAKES YOU
FOREVER.
I STILL LOVE THEIR STRATEGY OF
COMING UP WITH IMPOSSIBLE
EXPECTATIONS LIKE "IT’S NOT LIKE
WE HAVE A SWITCH TO TURN ON THE
BABY FOOD MACHINE," BECAUSE
THERE’S ONE.
"IT’S NOT LIKE THERE’S A DIAL,
CAN PUSH A BUTTON, TO END CRIME.
IT’S NOT LIKE YOU CAN WAVE YOUR
MAGIC WAND TO SOLVE INFLATION."
THESE ARE THINGS THEY DO TO
EXCUSE THEIR FAILURE.
THE OTHER PRESIDENTS DIDN’T HAVE
A BUTTON BUT STILL GOT IT
DIDN’T.
>> THERE WAS THE DIET COKE
BUTTON.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
DANA, THIS MORNING GAS PRICES
WERE UP AGAIN.
BUT THE DEMOCRATS KEEP TRYING TO
PAINT THE ROSY PICTURE.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KIND OF GET
IT WITH THE POLLING.
>> YEAH.
SO I’M TRYING TO THINK OF
SOMETHING THAT THEY COULD DO IN
THEIR CURRENT SITUATION.
I MEAN, I KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO.
ALL THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD
SAY.
OBVIOUSLY DO MORE -- ALLOW FOR
MORE DRILLING, RELAX THE
REGULATIONS, ALL THOSE THINGS.
THEY’RE NOT WILLING TO DO THAT.
I WAS READING MARK HALPERN "WIDE
WORLD OF NEWS" COLUMN, AND ONE
THING THAT’S TRUE, IF YOU THINK
THINGS ARE BAD NOW, IF WE DON’T
DO THINGS THAT ARE MORE TO THE
LEFT, YOUR NUMBERS WILL GO DOWN
EVEN MORE, BECAUSE THE ONLY
THING HOLDING YOU UP RIGHT NOW
IS THE FAR LEFT PROGRESSIVE
HOPING YOU’LL DO STUDENT LOAN
RELIEF OR SOMETHING ON CLIMATE
CHANGE, ETC.
I DON’T THINK THERE’S ANYTHING
COMMUNICATIONS-WISE THEY CAN DO
THAT WILL SOLVE THIS.
IT’S A POLICY PROBLEM.
AND I THINK -- AS AMERICANS,
HUMAN BEINGS, WE LIKE TO COMPARE
TO SOMETHING IN THE PAST.
I ACTUALLY THINK THE SITUATION
WE’RE IN RIGHT NOW IS MUCH WORSE
THAN THE ’70s.
>> YOU KNOW, JESSE, ONE OF THE
THINGS THEY TALK ABOUT IS
PUTTING MORE MONEY INTO THE
ECONOMY, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD
SAVE ALL OF US.
>> YEAH.
PEPPEDSPEND MORE, AND THAT WILL
THE DOLLAR.
WHAT CARTER DID IN THE ’70s TO
GET US OUT OF THE ENERGY CRISIS,
IT’S 10 TIMES MORE THAN WHAT
BIDEN DID.
HE PUT A PIPELINE THROUGH ALASKA
ALASKA, TRIED TO GET US OFF OUR
DEPENDS ON FOREIGN OIL AND WENT
GREEN.
ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE, LIKE,
ACTUAL SUBSTANTIAL THINGS YOU
COULD DO AS PRESIDENT.
THE JOE BIDEN HAS JUST TINKERED
AROUND THE EDGES.
HE WANTS TO BLEND MORE ETHANOL
INTO THE GASOLINE, WHICH WILL
RAISE FOOD PRICES.
HE’S CANCELING PIPELINES.
HE’S ACTUALLY MAKING US MORE
DEPENDENT ON FOREIGN OIL WHEN HE
GOES AND BEGS THE SAUDIS TO PUMP
MORE.
PEOPLE LIKE TO SAY TO JIMMY
CARTER IS THE WORST.
PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME.
AT LEAST CARTER WAS SMART.
GINGRICH REMINDED ME THAT CARTER
GRADUATED FROM THE NAVAL
ACADEMY, A NUCLEAR SUBMARINE
GUY.
HE ACTUALLY HAD A BRAIN ON HIS
SHOULDERS.
BIDEN DOES, AND IT’S SAD.
>> THAT’S HIS TITLE, "NUCLEAR
SUBMARINE GUY."
>> AND ALSO FORMER PRESIDENT.
>> THE WHITE HOUSE THEY SAY IS
IN A PANIC.
THEY’RE STRESSED.
WHAT SHOULD THEY DO?
>> FIRST OF ALL, STOP THINKING
ABOUT YOURSELF AND THINK ABOUT
GETTING THINGS DONE FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
I THINK THAT’S THE FIRST
PROBLEM, THEY’RE CONCERNED ABOUT
HOW THEY LOOK.
SECOND OF ALL, THEY’VE GOT IT
COMPLETELY WRONG.
BIDEN WILL BE REMEMBERED AS
BEING WORSE THAN JIMMY CARTER,
BECAUSE THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT
GAS PRICES, INFLATION, HOW
THINGS ARE BAD THEN AND NOW.
THEY’RE IGNORING THE FACT THAT
CARTER’S POLICIES DIDN’T
FAST-TRACK US INTO A NEW COLD
WAR, A PLACE WHERE WE’RE CLOSER TO A NUCLEAR WAR NOW THAN SINCE
TO A NUCLEAR WAR NOW THAN SINCE
THE CUBAN CRISIS.
THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
I WISH THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES AND WHITE HOUSE
WOULD FOCUS ON ACTUALLY DOING
THE WORK FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
RATHER THAN THINKING ABOUT
