Economic Growth Surpasses Dems' Predictions During Shutdown: 304,000 jobs created in Jan, defying Dems' claims of economic collapse; Unemployment rate anomaly; Success of economy without govt involvement challenges Dem belief in govt's central role; Harry's Razors offers affordable, high-quality razors
The economic numbers released recently defied the Democrats' predictions of an economic collapse due to the government shutdown. Despite the shutdown, 304,000 jobs were created in January, which is nearly double the predicted number. This goes against the Democrats' argument that higher taxes lead to prosperity and economic growth. The unemployment rate rose to 4.0%, but this was due to an anomaly. The success of the economy, even without government involvement, challenges the Democrats' belief in the central role of government in economic growth. Additionally, Harry's Razors was highlighted as a company that offers high-quality razors at fair prices, saving consumers money.
Lower taxes lead to higher growth: The correlation between lower taxes and higher economic growth is supported by data from the current economic prosperity under the Trump administration and refuted claims about the Obama administration's economic handoff.
The ongoing debate around economic policies between the Democrats and Republicans revolves around taxes and their impact on growth. The Democrats have proposed higher tax rates for the wealthy, while the Republicans argue that lower taxes lead to economic growth. According to the speaker, there is a clear correlation between lower taxes and higher growth, as evidenced by the current economic prosperity under the Trump administration. The speaker also refuted the argument that the Obama administration handed off a strong economy to Trump, citing data from Lewis Woodhill that shows a significant difference in employment ratios between the last 19 months of Obama's presidency and the first 19 months of Trump's. The debate continues to escalate with increasingly extreme proposals, but the correlation between lower taxes and higher growth remains a compelling argument.
Economic growth under Obama and Trump compared: During Trump's first 19 months, more people joined the labor force, more full-time jobs were created, and average weekly wages were higher than during Obama's last 19 months.
During the last 19 months of President Obama's term, the number of people declaring themselves eligible to work in the labor force grew at a slower rate than during the first 19 months of President Trump's term. Furthermore, while Obama added three million jobs during his last 19 months, the number of full-time, good jobs created during that period was lower than the number created during Trump's first 19 months. Additionally, average weekly wages were higher during Trump's first 19 months compared to Obama's. These economic indicators suggest that the Trump economy has been successful despite the long-term recovery from the previous recession, and that the policies Trump pursued have contributed to the current economic growth.
Attempts to Appoint Conservative Judges to Ninth Circuit: Preparing for potential disasters by insuring essentials is crucial for maintaining well-being and security.
During the Trump administration, there was a significant attempt to appoint conservative judges to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is known for its liberal bias. Despite Democratic attempts to block these nominations using the blue slip privilege, Trump was able to re-nominate two of the three judges and appoint a third, solidifying the chances of restoring judicial restraint to the Ninth Circus if Trump is reelected and more conservative judges can be nominated. Another important topic discussed was the importance of preparing for potential disasters, such as food shortages or power grid failures, by insuring essentials like food and water. The takeaway is that being prepared is crucial for maintaining one's well-being and security.
Trump Tower meeting was a setup to create appearance of collusion: The Trump Tower meeting between Trump Jr., Manafort, and Kushner with Russians in June 2016 was a setup to create the appearance of collusion, not an actual attempt to collude.
The infamous Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner with Russians in June 2016 was a setup. The Russians were sent to meet with Trump Jr. a week before the release of damaging DNC emails to create the appearance of collusion. This theory is supported by the fact that the story of Trump Jr.'s call to his father after the meeting, which fueled collusion allegations, has been debunked. Additionally, the panic and civil war between the Russian collusion conspiracy theorists and the Trump team came to a head around July 2017, when Manafort, Kushner, and Trump Jr. were brought in to testify about the meeting, and Manafort's house was raided by the FBI the same day. Mueller and the Trump team reportedly knew this was a setup, and the emerging evidence continues to support this theory.
The Trump Tower meeting may have been a setup: The Trump Tower meeting, which investigators believed was significant in the Russian collusion probe, may have been a setup based on new evidence of political motivations and potential ties to the Trump dossier.
The Trump Tower meeting, which was a focus of the Mueller investigation into Russian collusion, was likely a setup. This is indicated by the fact that Paul Manafort, who attended the meeting, later claimed it produced no useful information, and that the same week of the unnecessary early morning raid on Manafort's home, investigator Peter Strzok and his girlfriend Lisa Page were found to have been exchanging texts that suggested the investigation was politically motivated. The Trump team has long maintained that the meeting was a setup, but this information adds weight to that claim. Additionally, the New York Times, which initially reported on the meeting, later revealed that the Russian lawyer who attended, Natalia Veselnitskaya, had ties to Fusion GPS, the firm behind the unproven Trump dossier. This raises questions about the motivations behind the investigation and the role of the media in shaping public perception.
The Trump Tower meeting was a setup orchestrated by individuals connected to the Clinton orbit: New revelations show the Trump Tower meeting was a setup, not a sign of collusion, as the Russian lawyer involved hired a private investigator from Fusion GPS and the Trump team was aware of this before it became public
The Trump Tower meeting in 2017, which was initially portrayed as a discussion about Hillary Clinton and Russian adoption, was actually a setup orchestrated by individuals connected to the Clinton orbit. The Russian lawyer who attended the meeting employed a private investigator from Fusion GPS, the same firm that produced the anti-Trump dossier. The Trump team was aware of this and had publicly stated that the meeting was a setup long before this information came to light. Additionally, recent revelations show that Don Trump Jr. did not call his father from a suspicious number during the meeting, debunking another conspiracy theory. The Mueller investigation has been criticized for focusing on process crimes and hiding evidence that could exonerate the Trump team. This latest information adds to the growing belief that the Trump Tower meeting was a setup, not a sign of collusion.
Price's testimony raises questions about his involvement in investigations: Price, as head of counter-intel division, testified about lack of information regarding setup of investigations, adding to ongoing intrigue surrounding roles of various individuals involved.
While this may seem like a mild revelation, it raises questions about the extent of Price's involvement and knowledge of these investigations. Another intriguing detail from his testimony is the lack of information provided about a supposed setup. Given Price's position as the head of the counter-intel division, reporting to McCabe and Comey, it's surprising that more details have not emerged from his testimony. The Epic Times has shared some of this testimony, and it's worth noting that it may contain more significant revelations. Overall, these developments add to the ongoing intrigue surrounding these investigations and the roles of various individuals involved.
FBI transfers of McCabe and Strzok during Clinton email investigation: Two key FBI figures, McCabe and Strzok, were transferred during Clinton email probe, raising concerns about potential bias and influence due to their vested interests and anti-Trump sentiments.
During the Hillary Clinton email investigation, key figures within the FBI, including Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok, were transferred to the headquarters division managing the case. McCabe, who was promoted to a supervisory role, had a vested interest in his wife's political career, which was supported by Democratic politicians. Strzok, known for his anti-Trump texts, was also transferred, raising questions about potential bias and influence in the investigation. This is significant because these transfers occurred shortly after the investigation began and could potentially impact the impartiality of the case. Another key figure, John Carlin, the head of the National Security Division at the Department of Justice during the Obama administration, had significant control over the case. Understanding these transfers and their potential implications is crucial to evaluating the Clinton email investigation.
Deep Connections Among Key Figures in Clinton and Trump Investigations: Despite potential conflicts of interest, key figures in both the Clinton email and Trump-Russia investigations were heavily involved, leading to concerns about bias and unequal treatment.
During the FBI's investigation into both the Hillary Clinton email scandal and the Trump-Russia collusion allegations, key figures with potential conflicts of interest were heavily involved. For instance, Robert Mueller, who led the Russia probe, had deep connections to figures like Rod Rosenstein and John Carlin, who were also involved in the investigations. Additionally, Carlin, who was Mueller's former chief of staff, was reportedly a key figure in the Clinton email investigation and had to sign off on FISA warrants. Furthermore, evidence emerged suggesting that hostile foreign actors had accessed Hillary Clinton's emails, but the FBI did not act on it. Meanwhile, unverified information against Donald Trump was used to secure FISA warrants. The anomaly lies in the fact that the Clinton email scandal, despite mounting evidence of wrongdoing, was largely ignored, while the Trump-Russia investigation, based on unverified information, was given extensive resources and attention. This raises serious concerns about bias and the handling of these investigations.
Potential connections between Russian lawyer and Clinton's team, questions surrounding Carter Page's London trips: Russian lawyer linked to both Trump Tower meeting and Clinton's dossier, questions about Carter Page's London visits, UK's involvement in US investigation, concerns over use of foreign partners for info gathering, refusal to discuss certain details adds to intrigue
There are indications of potential connections between the Russian lawyer involved in the Trump Tower meeting and the same individual who was paid by Hillary Clinton's team to create a fake dossier. Additionally, there are questions surrounding former Trump campaign aide Carter Page's trips to London and his refusal to discuss the purposes of those trips. The intelligence community and foreign partners, including those in the UK, have objected to the declassification of documents related to this case. Reports suggest that there were meetings between US and UK intelligence agencies during this time, raising questions about the extent of the UK's involvement in the investigation of the Trump campaign. The use of foreign partners for information gathering is a concern, as surveillance laws in the UK are less restrictive than in the US. The refusal to discuss certain details, such as the reasons for Page's trips to London and the contents of text messages and FISA documents, adds to the intrigue and raises suspicions.
Trump Tower meeting and Clinton team investigations: Investigations into Trump and Clinton teams involve allegations of cover-ups and set-ups. Trump Tower meeting aimed to set up Trump Jr., not prove collusion. NYT's handling of the story raises questions. Ideological differences hinder finding common ground, particularly on economic policies.
The ongoing investigations into the Trump administration and the Clinton team's actions are complex and multifaceted, with allegations of cover-ups and set-ups on both sides. The Trump Tower meeting, which has been a major point of focus, is not evidence of collusion but rather an attempt to set up Trump Jr. The New York Times' knowledge of this and the subsequent leak to the media raises questions about potential efforts to cover up the truth. The lack of shared values between the radical far left and liberty lovers is making it increasingly difficult to find common ground and reconcile opposing ideologies, particularly regarding economic policies. Ultimately, the fight for transparency and truth in politics is crucial in navigating these complex issues.
Identity Battles Shaping the Future of Our Republic: Stay informed and actively participate in the political process to protect values and freedoms during upcoming debates on fundamental issues like science, individual freedoms, and government intervention.
We are currently engaged in significant cultural clashes that go beyond traditional political debates. These conflicts revolve around fundamental issues such as the role of science, individual freedoms, and the balance between personal liberties and government intervention. The speaker emphasizes that these are not just political fights, but rather identity battles that will shape the future of our Republic. The 2020 election cycle is expected to bring deep and wide-ranging debates on these topics, with potential third-party candidates further complicating the landscape. It is crucial for individuals to be aware of these issues and actively participate in the political process to protect their values and freedoms. The speaker encourages listeners to subscribe to his podcast, read his book, and stay informed to prepare for the upcoming battles.
