This is just weeks before the election Lawrence here to react is Fox NEWS, contributor and former House Oversight Committee, Chairman Jason Chaffetz, okay, from what we know Jason, he was addicted to drugs at the time, which is tragic. A lot of Americans go through that, so how was he still having all these business dealings and what did he offer these companies? Well, this is the suspicion right. This is the concern is that two thousand and fourteen Hunter Biden joined the Burisma Board shortly thereafter, blue star strategies becomes involved.
The vice President Hunter Bidens dad becomes in charge of ukrainian process goes over to Ukraine and famously goes out and brags about how he is going to withhold nearly a billion dollars in? U dot S taxpayer dollars if they dont swish out who their prosecutor is. Meanwhile, now new emails are showing that this blue star strategies is out there bragging that they can provide access to the highest levels of Hillary Clintons campaign, including the potential new chief of staff, the ambassador, I didnt Yovanov, saying in testimony before Congress. I dont know that Hunter Biden was involved. Meanwhile, George Kent, who works for the State Department, was warning. The Biden, White House and the Vice presidents office and others within the state Department that hey this Hunter Biden thing looks really suspicious. Will Yovanovitch has a meeting in December of twenty sixteen, but supposedly nothing was awry. Are you kidding me?
This is why the? U dot S attorney, is involved and why there is more smoke than ever. That Hunter Biden did something nefarious and that his dad, the current president of the United States, has a lot of explaining to do. Carley Jason lets talk about the May. Jobs number missed the mark by about hundred thousand jobs adviser said Covid 19 is still relatively permanent in May, as much of the population remains unvaccinated and many states were just beginning to adjust their public health guidance. These factors interact with unemployment insurance, which can allow workers to take longer to re, think their careers try to find jobs in new industries and negotiate for higher wages, but can also slow unemployment, growth and prolong long term unemployment. That, last part, is the key whats. Your reaction, yeah, I think government is competing with the private sector. I dont care where you, where did you go in this country? You are having problems finding businesses that can actually
employ people. One missing part of this story that I want people to understand. Go back ten years under the Obama White House, the federal budget was about three dollars and seventy cents trillion. It now is proposed by Joe Biden to be six dollars trillion fifty percent increase in our federal budget. In over ten years, the debt has swelled from roughly sixteen trillion to nearly thirty trillion. Nearly doubling there is a huge massive effect. Is your government that much more effective and efficient with a fifty percent increase, no its more bureaucrats, more government, more regulators and the consequence our economy is suffering and we are not growing like we should be, will Jason. I want to see what you think about a story that caught my attention. There is a lot of speculation about President Trump and his intentions in twenty twenty, four on Wayne, Allyn Ruths radio program, two thousand and twenty two was wrought Brough. What they talked about was whether or not president Trump should run for coming from
Florida become a United States congressman in twenty twenty two then become speaker of the house. Where Ruth said, then you could lead in the investigation into Biden or anything else before two thousand and twenty four even comes up Trump said: huh thats, interesting whats, your reaction yeah, I tweeted about this a few months ago. Under the constitution, you dont need to be a member of Congress to be elected. The speaker of the house so put Donald Trump in as speaker of the house. Can he go out and investigate? Then he could imbeach everybody. That would be pretty fascinating. Laughter will yeah. I dont know that thats what he will choose to do, but he seemed interested for a moment there. On that radio show we will see, makes for great tv. I will tell you that Lawrence Donald Trump launching impeachment probe on Joe Biden headlines themselves will combination thereof before.
