Yes.
I mean -- judge.
Vice President Biden is set to resume debt talks tomorrow in the first of multiple meetings planned for this week.
We'll Republicans blink.
And allow for some new taxes to get done here to discuss radio talk show host Neal Boortz -- it's a pleasure welcome back to freedom watch it that you what I have.
Nearly the same view about taxes.
But does the president's seriously think.
Do the Democrats actually think.
That they can raise this issue and that taxes could possibly get through this this congress -- in a dead on arrival in the House of Representatives.
The Democrats will never.
Give up on the idea of raising taxes because it appeals to their base it appeals to the wealth -- banks now.
Did -- get a cup of coffee judge let me run were some of the things I've already heard here.
First of all Barack Obama failing to show leadership the senator Johnson just pointed out let me remind you.
Just before you -- -- -- Valerie Jarrett his lead advisors said.
We will be ready to rule.
From day one she didn't say lead.
She said rule he's a -- he's not a leader he -- Joseph Biden -- here to these budget talks so that he can escape accountability.
And you talk about him watching our.
Fiscal situation.
Barack Obama watching our fiscal situation and our economy is like a chicken watching -- card trick.
This guy doesn't have an idea in the world.
What is going on out there.
Let me stop giving -- that -- the image of the chicken on the card trick is in my mind to very clever one and I appreciate it.
Shouldn't congress should the congress simply say we're gonna force you to lead.
We are not going to raise the debt ceiling the Republicans in the house can do this on their own.
The Republicans in the senate where they can filibuster and requires sixty votes and they have 47.
Can do this on the -- are they susceptible.
To giving in to this president and his doomsday predictions of what will happen.
Out of the -- of Tim Geithner and Joseph Biden not out of his arm out as you pointed out.
And cave.
Well first of all the Republicans could say with all due respect mr.
Biden.
Go back to the naval observatory to your home.
Mr.
Obama get over here and talk with -- You -- the ultimate decider in the White House we want to negotiate with you.
And yes judge the Republicans are absolutely prone to cave in on this because we have a lot of voices on Wall Street.
Most of the voices in the media.
And of course the president and the Democrats in congress telling the Republicans or trying to paint the picture.
That if you don't give us -- increase in the debt ceiling we're better default in America is going to dissolve into chaos.
The credit cards are maxed.
Out.
All right let's go back -- economic -- payments let's go back to economics wanna one I know it's a field that you -- spend your career explaining.
For your listeners throughout -- so they can understand.
Inflation is moving upward.
One of the reasons inflation's moving -- because the Federal Reserve prints money and loans that to the federal government and the federal government.
Spends it.
Isn't inflation likely to be worse.
A year from now when the president is actively aggressively campaign for reelection that it is today.
If he doesn't change course stop the borrowing and slow the spending.
-- -- -- -- Well here's another card trick and that is if we were major -- inflation today.
The way they measured at.
When Jimmy Carter was president of the United States the inflation rate would be and to double digits.
They changed the the basis of major -- inflation in this country.
In order to save the embarrassment of an actual high inflation rate.
But the people out -- -- in the eggs in the mill and the groceries and paying their rent.
They know what is going on and inflation is going to do is all of our savings and eat itself.
Beat us up but it's a wait for them to monetize the debt and try to get out of some of this problem.
Before I let you go where you surprised the other -- one.
Watching the Republican debate when every single one of them said more -- -- sent to different degrees but for the most part on the same side of this issue.
It's time to bring the troops home.
We can cut defense spending as well as domestic spending we -- surprised to hear that -- Yeah I was -- the the natural reaction is going to be all yeah -- you'll say that when there's a Democrat in the White House why were you saying that when there was a Republican in the White House.
But.
Still if you look at Afghanistan we've accomplished our goals.
Afghanistan.
Has never been centrally governed successfully I don't know why we figure that we're going to be the ones to create that.
-- -- -- is always a pleasure and you're always welcome here thanks for joining us.
Thank you sir ignoring the law and -- --
