Mid-Day Update: May 22nd, 2024

Peter Schweizer says Congress must use the power of the purse to force the DOJ to release Biden’s Special Counsel audio tapes. They must demand all communications between Soros prosecutors and the Administration to look into collusion in their effort to get Trump. Schweizer says they must not fund the DOJ until they turn over all material requested by Congress.  This isn’t about Trump. This is about the balance of power. The Executive Branch should not feel like it could thumb its nose at Congress. If roles were reversed, Schweizer says the Left would push until they got the results they wanted. It’s up to Mike Johnson and the Committee Chairs to use the power of the purse otherwise it will embolden the Left to continue to defy Congress and corrupt the Federal government. They have to shoot a cannon across their bow to correct this.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Former Trump Asst. Attorney General Jeff Clark joins Lou to bring us up to date on Marxist Lawfare against him and President Trump. The New York Court of Appeals rejected Trump’s attempt to remove his gag order. Clark says the only reason to keep it in place is to interfere in the election, it’s about political free speech at the heart of the First Amendment. Clark says we’re watching warring factions in the Democrat Party. There are those who want Joe Biden because he’s functionally a puppet and those running the country want to stay firmly in place. Then there are Dems who want to dump Biden fearing keeping him on the ticket will lead to another Trump term. Clark believes the debate will be Biden’s big test.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Economist John Lonski says the economy is slowing down. There’s very little growth in retail sales and that’s a warning sign. 200,000 new jobs a month may become a thing of the past with companies deciding to cut payrolls because sales aren’t growing fast enough. With larger layoffs, there’s less consumer spending and we end up in a recession. Lonski says high inflation and high interest rates have caught up with the American consumer. Personal income growth has slowed to 1%, prices are higher and there’s no improvement in their living standards. Unfortunately for Joe Biden, the economic situation gets worse as Election Day approaches. No matter who the Dems put in as their candidate, Americans are tired of “wokeism” they don’t like crime and they don’t like being told what to think.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bill Barr was Attorney General twice. Mike Benz says it was his reward for being a good janitor cleaning up CIA controversies from foreign assassinations to gun running to money laundering. Benz says Barr covered up for Hunter Biden as well, allowing the statute of limitations to run out on most of his crimes. Benz believes Hunter was protected because he was advancing a CIA operation in Ukraine for the State Department.  Benz says it’s been 40 years since Americans had a choice in a Presidential contest in the Pre-Trump era. Benz joins Lou to trace back all the CIA connections from George HW Bush, to Obama to Biden.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

St. Louis Attorney Mark McCloskey says the only unforgivable crime in America these days is standing up against the Left. He says the Missouri Bar Association controls who gets to practice law, how you practice law and to keep your license you’re required to take diversity, equity and inclusion classes. There’s a bar association just like it that wields that same power in all fifty states. McCloskey says when Trump gets elected, he needs to fire everyone in the DOJ. He needs to make sure everyone does their job instead of imposing their ideology.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
