  1. Plus if states pass laws that would give state residents full reign to sue the federal government they’ll have to hike taxes on everyone to pay for potential multi-million dollar lawsuits.

  2. This incompetent federal employee, Rep. Kustoff, was doing kind of fairly well until the 6:00 minute mark when he was queried on the inflation issue at which time, he revealed just how base and ignorant he really is. This half-wit clown actually said: "…the more money the federal government prints and flushes into the economy, ada, ah, it has a detrimental effect on inflation." – and this guy is a United (Mafia) States Congressional Representative????!!!!
    Please, please, pretty please with a cherry on top, correct me if I'm mistaken but the fact, as I understand reality, is that we NEVER, EVER, NEVER actually "print money" in order to meet federal expenditures and for dumb-dumb to use the term – "flush into the economy" – is disturbing, to say the least. Then there is the heart of the matter which is that by his incompetent rhetoric he indicates that he believes that just because there is more funds circulating in the economy and obviously in the pockets of the masses, that this is a justification for Big Corporate Business, which includes Big Oil, to "allegedly" collude in order to fix prices higher, without there being a significant cost of production increase, so as to satisfy their greed/avarice by engaging in this opportunistic price gouging that is the cause for this record inflation. At the same time, we the people are struggling to survive while Corporate America is racking in record profits, as is evidenced by these quarterly reports that they live and die by. To state my position succinctly, just because we the people have some extra cash it doesn't give Corporate America the right to legally steal it from us by raising prices on consumer goods. The likes of Kustoff in our federal government are siding with Big Corporate Business and saying yes, they do have a right to raise prices every time the working man gets a little bit ahead and this must be corrected, and the correction will require some sort of price controls, obviously.
    To belabor the federal government "printing money" issue which again, never happens, but instead with the new/old federal financial paradigm called quantitative easing (QE3) we now have the ability to ELECTRONICALLY GENERATE WE THE PEOPLE'S MONIES IN ORDER TO MEET FEDERAL EXPENDITURES WHEN THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT FUNDS AVAILABLE FORM OUR DEFUNCT FEDERAL INCOME TAX SYSTEM THAT WILL NEVER, CAN NEVER BE REVIVED. QE spending is real and here to stay, without which we go no further as a nation, as a species.
    The entire explanatory narrative on how and why QE spending works is called Equity Spending (YouTube) or ES, not to be confused with the more politically correct, Left leaning, in my opinion, inferior MMT explanatory narrative on QE spending. P.O.O.F.O.O.S.I.E.

  3. People on Social Security ,Ssdi, Ssi, low income, and the poor have been in a recession all along.

  4. The old man will never ever admit that he is wrong. The people of the United states of America are wrong, not him. Ask him, he'll tell you.

  5. the states should control energy not some fool in the white house

  6. Excuse my ignorance, but hasn't the court found that the federal government does not have the constitutional authority to rule on something like abortion?
    So codifying the law would not be possible?

  7. Don't sacrifice your children to Moloch.

  8. Everyone will see what they want… Look at Moscow, and you will understand, maybe even guess… Watch carefully… You don't have to say it, just watch and think… You can walk around Germany or France, you should see that something is missing…

  9. in a few months or no time people we definitely be kicking themselves regret for missing the opportunity to buy or invest in cryptocurrency.

  10. Joe Biden is lost, confused……He is not in charge, Obama and his crew pushing Joe from behind the curtain, why would the USA go from no Inflation, Fuel Cost lowest in History / Food and Energy cost stable for years, good cost for production stable, employment at all time highs, Stockmarket on fire – and now today a total crash, in everything… Its all on Biden's hands lack of Economic Experiance / World Stage Experience – total fail… Stockmarket crash. Inflation Highest in US History. Interest Rates going to 10% not since 1980's Crime Highest in US History – criminals running the streets. Border wide open, Criminals walking in with drugs, sick with covid – putting US Citizens at risk. Deaths at the Border due to Illegal Immigration and these are all on Biden's hands – if you cross at a Non-entry point – that is illegal – go back to where you started, this would stop what is going on. Fuel / Diesel cost Highest in US History – this has added to a huge part of the Inflation we see today – Inflation will not go down until Biden opens up US Energy 100%. Store shelves empty – and with Diesel cost as high as they are, Truckers parking their trucks due to cost, situation to get worse……….
    CRT / Antifa / Trans / Woke BS – Education being forced onto your 5 year olds..
    War in Ukraine – last time this took place was under Obama, and Joe was right there as VP as Russia took over a good bit of Ukraine and nothing was done then, why do you think Putin went into Ukraine now…weakness…..
    WOKE Military all due to Biden's lack of "Real" Leadership…
    VP Kamala Harris is the laughing stock of the World, riddler – Dr. Susie repeat / repeat / repeat….Here I am, standing here, here I stand, standing here, I am with my friends, standing here….

  11. MY FINANCIAL GOAL IS TO BE MAKING AT LEAST UP TO $1,000,000 EVERY YEAR BY INVESTING HEAVILY BOTH IN CRYPTO AND STOCK. I NEED GUIDIANCE. please comment below,….

  12. If you think inflation AND shrinkflation are bad now, just wait. You ain't seen nothin' yet. You can take that to the bank. SMH.

  13. "I did that" sticker should be every where.

  14. Tax payers will end up paying for this AND TRANSGENDER SURGERY NEXT!!!

  15. The federal gov doesn't own any land. They only maintain it with the people's tax dollars. The land belongs to the people. Let them open abortion clinics in their homes if they want them.

  16. No offense to the Congressman but this TV and you need to be on point and deliver your message concisely in the short span of an interview.

  17. So Democrats are now the owner of Federal land?

    Send these people to the Guillotine.

  18. We've been in a recession since Jan 20 2021 after they installed Biden in OUR White House. Since then he has become nothing more than a squatter occupying OUR White House.

  19. Feels like recession but in reality we are in serious depression. Majority of American cannot afford the rent hike. $4000-$5000 for a one bedroom apartment which requires the renter to make $200,000/yr in order to be qualified to rent. In this trend, young generations will not be able to afford a home ever. In reality, tenants are not paying more than before because due to mass money printing US$ devalued and thus price for everything hiked. On the side, gov’t continue to increase property tax on landlords which partially reflected to tenants.

  20. Fox News is absolutely killing the other networks in ratings. With people like Maria, I can see why. The Leftist MSM are pathetic, nothing but Communist Propaganda!

  21. When will this haughty lady retire..?
    She looks frustrated and we get irritated by her!
    Give her more water!

  22. Rep Kustoff give up your $174k salary to help some people after all that is a huge salary and you are supposed to help people not sqeeze them dry. Your salary would feed a lot of people

  23. 23 days left of House of Rep Legislation. There is 130 days left til the election. Get off your azz. That's working 1 out of 6 days. No wonder the US is dysfunctional. I say these reps should clean the building. Polish the brass, pick up trash, trim the grounds on and on and earn their paycheck. Even wear orange vests while they are doing it. All these things so the public who foots the bill can visit. Lets Go Brandon

  24. Biden and the Far Left Dems bring new meaning to Drill Baby Drill.

  25. Biden and Harris want to drill for fetuses on federal lands within states.

  26. One more reason to sell federal lands to pay down the debt. The federal government has no business owning land in the states. And the government focusing on their pet fringe issues as we sink into misery is proof the democrats are UNFIT FOR ANY PUBLIC OFFICE.

  27. Fake elections, fake president. Dems are completely lawless.

  28. No Way, this undermines the law

  29. Biden will never admit that he is wrong, even though the whole world knows he is.

  30. does this mean that abortion clinic are going to be incorporated into the VA – that is Federal Property ????

  31. Just look at the Mortgage Industry, we are in a recession

  32. America is going to suffer the wrath of God for every child torn from a mothers womb. Repent now, no mother who chooses to keep their child will have to struggle alone. God will provide!! Trust in Him , not man.

  33. Won't happen on Native lands…

  34. Biden not only looks weak and feckless, he is weak and feckless.

  35. this guy looks like an alien

  36. If we can't drill on federal land how the hell is the government going to build on it? Really? With all the crap the American people are going through and this is their biggest issue?? Such a perfect example of how out of touch these elites are. Solution is simple…go and get birth control, most are free or take a drive to the next state who allows it. This is not a ban on abortions. It just goes back to the states where it always belonged. Do your home work people.

  37. This is a recession no matter how u look at it .. my car is out of gasoline down the street from home. An I don't have all the rent funds for first time sence I don't know when.

  38. pissing money away thats what Bidens legacy will be

  39. It's called the Law of the Land. Not just federal property. All government land belongs to the PEOPLE not a political party. It's a shame we have to remind this administration it's We the People.
