0:00.0 | With five days left till the midterm elections, Joe Biden keeps stepping on political |
0:06.4 | rakes. In a shameless play to buy votes, Joe Biden is announcing that senior citizens will |
0:13.0 | be receiving an historic raise in their social security checks. |
0:18.4 | Quote, seniors are getting the biggest increase in their social security checks in 10 years |
0:24.3 | through President Biden's leadership. That's a tweet from the White House. Good news, |
0:29.6 | right? This is a talk about it. If you got nothing else to campaign on, all right, we're going to |
0:33.5 | give senior citizens a lot of money. People are very motivated to vote. We're just going to give you |
0:37.5 | a lot of money. That's good news, right? Well, it would be except for the fine print, |
0:42.9 | except for the most magnificent fact check in the history of social media, brought to us by Elon |

1:12.4 | automatic benefit adjustments tied to the consumer price index. So it, no, it's not that Joe Biden's |
1:18.4 | just giving you a lot of money. He has to do that because the inflation rate under him is so bad. |
1:22.8 | And also, it wasn't Democrats who even set up that rule. It was the Republicans who set up that |
1:27.0 | rule just absolutely devastating. The situation right now is so bad for Democrats that Joe Biden |
1:36.4 | can't even give away money to likely voters without reminding them what a crappy president he is. |
1:43.6 | The whole thing was so embarrassing that Biden deleted the tweet. Okay, it's over. |
1:51.0 | It's over. Every indicator suggests that the voters are breaking overwhelmingly for Republicans. |
2:00.0 | Even Democrat voters, even in Democrats strongholds. And if the Democrats want to stop the red tsunami |
