Podcast appearances and mentions of Bob Gibbs

Op 10 maart begon de angst voor een bankencrisis toe te nemen. Het Amerikaanse Congreslid Jared Moskowicz, een Democraat uit Florida, verkocht toen zijn aandelen Seacoast Banking Corporation. Dat is een kleine regionale bank en werd dus hard getroffen. In een interview zei Moskowitz dat hij een speciale overheidsbijeenkomst had bijgewoond over de problemen in de bankensector. Sorry? Je had voorkennis, handelt daarmee en je ziet niet eens het probleem? De koers van Seacoast is flink gedaald en staat nu een kwart lager. Zijn excuus achteraf was dat zijn adviseur zei dat hij moest verkopen. Die verklaring was genoeg en Moskowitz ging vrijuit. Nou meneer Moskowitz, goed gedaan, financieel gezien. Maar moreel verwerpelijk. Ik zit liever aan de goede kant. Ik had ooit SNS-aandelen, werkte daar, maar had geen voorinformatie. Ik heb die aandelen tot het laatst toe vastgehouden, ook voelde je op een gegeven moment aan je water dat het mis zou gaan. Financieel dom, maar het voelt een stuk beter. The New York Times heeft er onlangs onderzoek naar gedaan. Bijna een vijfde van de politici heeft gehandeld in aandelen van bedrijven die beïnvloed kunnen worden door de beslissingen van commissies waarin ze zitten. Democraten en Republikeinen zijn allebei even erg. De gemiddelde aandelenportefeuille van de congresleden deed het vorig jaar maar liefst 17,5% beter dan de brede index. Goh. Een paar voorbeelden. De vrouw van congreslid Alan Lowenthal, een Democraat, verkocht één dag voor de uitslag van het rapport over de ramp met de Boeing 737 MAX, haar aandelen van die vliegtuigbouwer. Te toevallig om toeval te zijn. Bob Gibbs, een Republikein, kocht aandelen in farmaceut AbbVie in 2020 en in 2021. Maar hij zat in de commissie die onderzoek deed naar de hoge prijzen in de farmaceutische industrie, waaronder die van AbbVie. Óf zijn oordeel over het bedrijf werd beïnvloed door zijn privébezit, óf hij had voorkennis. In beide gevallen zit hij fout. En dan vragen ze zich af waarom het vertrouwen in de Amerikaanse politiek zo onder druk staat. Hun morele kompas is flink van slag. Gelukkig zijn in Nederland de regels een stuk strenger. Bovendien zijn Nederlandse bedrijven zo internationaal, dat wetgeving van de Tweede Kamer nauwelijks invloed heeft op beursgenoteerde bedrijven. Tegenwoordig kun je als gewone belegger meeliften op deze politieke voorkennis. Een indexbouwer heeft een fonds gemaakt dat de transactie van de Democraten nabootst: NANC. Inderdaad, die ticker is afgeleid van Nancy Pelosi, de voormalige leider van de Democraten. En voor wie de Republikeinen wil volgen, is er het KRUZ indexfonds, U raadt het al, van Ted Cruz. Beide fondsen presteren overigens in de korte tijd dat ze beursgenoteerd zijn ondermaats. Zou er dan toch nog gerechtigheid zijn?

Turns out your need people to work and to provide, to have a thriving economy and nation. House votes to pass bill guaranteeing access to contraception https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/21/politics/contraception-access-house-vote/index.html?fbclid=IwAR2WKa07UvjlHP5qKWXPzgSm1ylUFA4JoREcolRudQTpD6e-nL7SviSLF1U The House voted Thursday to pass a bill that would guarantee access to contraception by protecting the right to buy and use contraceptives without government restriction. The final vote was 228-195. Eight Republicans crossed over to vote with Democrats. Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Fred Upton of Michigan, Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, John Katko of New York, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Maria Salazar of Florida and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois joined all the Democrats in voting for the bill. Two Republicans, Reps. Bob Gibbs of Ohio and Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania, voted present, meaning they took no position either way on the bill The vote falls among action House Democrats are trying to take following the Supreme Court's decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. In that decision, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote separately in a concurring opinion that the high court should reconsider "substantive due process precedents" in decisions, including Griswold v. Connecticut, that allows access to contraception. The Right to Contraception Act, introduced by Democratic Rep. Kathy Manning of North Carolina, aims to "protect a person's ability to access contraceptives and to engage in contraception, and to protect a health care provider's ability to provide contraceptives, contraception, and information related to contraception," according to text of the bill. We should note that the text of the bill also includes “emergency contraceptives” in its list of what is included. Historically “emergency contraceptives” has also included chemicals intending to prevent or disrupt implantation of a fertilized egg. It should also be pointed out that some forms of oral contraception also include this as an intended function. Why would we trust Margaret Sanger and her descendants to give us good medicine? The mindless embrace of birth control by Christians got us into this mess. The White House said it "strongly supports" the bill in a statement Monday, adding "access to contraception is essential to ensuring all people have control over personal decisions about their own health, lives, and families." And making sure that we don’t have enough people to work productive jobs to provide for their families. This on the heels of Earlier this week, the House passed a bill that would enshrine protections for same-sex marriage into federal law, with 47 Republicans joining Democrats voting in favor of the bill. It is unclear whether the bill can pass the Senate where at least 10 Republicans are needed to side with Democrats to overcome the filibuster's 60-vote threshold. Redballoon Not so long ago, the American dream was alive and well. Employees who worked hard were rewarded, and employers looked for people who could do the job, not for people who had the right political views. RedBalloon.work is a job site designed to get us back to what made American businesses successful: free speech, hard work, and having fun. If you are a free speech employer who wants to hire employees who focus on their work and not identity politics, then post a job on RedBalloon. If you are an employee who is being censored at work or is being forced to comply with the current zeitgeist, post your resume on RedBalloon and look for a new job. redballoon.work, the job site where free speech is still alive! www.redballoon.work New Electoral College Count Reform Proposal https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/a-promising-new-electoral-count-act-reform-proposal/ The proposal takes the form of two bills. The first is sponsored by nine Republican senators (Susan Collins, Shelley Moore Capito, Lindsey Graham, Lisa Murkowski, Rob Portman, Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse, Thom Tillis, and Todd Young) and seven Democratic senators (Joe Manchin, Ben Cardin, Chris Coons, Chris Murphy, Jeanne Shaheen, Kyrsten Sinema, and Mark Warner) and is focused on the Electoral Count Act itself. This bill clarifies that states must appoint presidential electors in accordance with the laws they each pass before election day and does away with the dangerously vague concept of a “failed election” in the original ECA. It requires that the governor of each state (or else another particular official specifically assigned this role by state law) be the person to certify the state’s slate of electors, to avoid the possibility of different officials sending different slates to Congress. It clarifies that the vice president’s role in counting electoral votes in Congress is purely ministerial and does not involve any sole decision-making authority. It raises the threshold for raising objections to a state’s electoral votes in Congress from one member of each house to one-fifth of the members of each house and narrows and clarifies the grounds for filing objections. And it allows for expedited federal judicial review of any challenges raised by a presidential candidate under already existing federal law to a state’s certification of its elections, but does not create any new right of action in federal court regarding state officials’ enforcement of state laws. Some Democrats wanted to go further, and give the federal courts more jurisdiction over the ways in which state officials enforce state election laws. This was a disastrously misguided idea, and it is very good that this proposal avoids any such path. This is a significant success for a number of Republicans who fought hard against that approach — particularly Ben Sasse and Mitt Romney. And it is the reason why I think this bill could get enough Republican votes to pass the Senate. The restraint shown in this proposal suggests this bipartisan group really wants to get these reforms enacted. The second bill, sponsored by most of the same senators as the first (with the exception of Republican senators Capito, Young, Sasse, and Graham) takes up some issues beyond the scope of the Electoral Count Act. It would increase the penalties for threatening election officials, improve the postal service’s procedures for handling mail-in ballots where those are allowed under state law, reauthorize the Election Assistance Commission, and increase the penalties for tampering with election records. These are modest reforms directed to modest problems, and the result is a bill that doesn’t do anything particularly important. If it’s necessary to get more Democrats to accept the restrained approach to ECA reform in the first bill, then I see no problem with it, and certainly some of what it proposes is worthwhile. Chaplains File Class Action Lawsuit Against DODhttps://uncoverdc.com/2022/07/21/vaccine-mandate-chaplains-file-class-action-lawsuit-against-dod/ Thirty-one military chaplains filed a class action lawsuit in May alleging the unconstitutional denial of religious accommodations relating to the vaccine mandate. The chaplains maintain they are protected by the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). Defendants in the case are the Department of Defense (DoD), several military branches, the Department of Health and Human Services, the FDA, and the CDC. The lawsuit provides a fulsome review of the blatant, concerning changes in definitions and procedural rules to achieve politically driven agendas and goals that seemingly ignore service members’ most basic constitutional rights. Plaintiffs argue that the vaccine mandate and the military’s “no accommodation directive” are unconstitutional. Military chaplains who fail to comply with the vaccine mandate face “threat of disciplinary action” and “punitive discharge,” violating their “express statutory rights to follow their conscience as formed by their faith.” Defendants in the case contend the “venue is not proper,” Plaintiffs’ claims “are not ripe or justiciable prior to exhaustion of military remedies” (some requests have not yet been adjudicated), and the vaccine is the best remedy for “the health and readiness” of the military forces. The 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) lays out in Section 533—the right of chaplains to conduct themselves according to their conscience or religious faith. Section 533 allows a chaplain to reject performing any duty that violates their conscience without repercussion or penalty. As the footnote on page 5 of the lawsuit explains, the genesis of the 2013 NDAA amendment grew out of social policy changes in 2012 during the Obama administration concerning “the repeal of the military ban on homosexual behavior and the Supreme Court’s invalidation of the Defense of Marriage Act.” Chaplains at the time were concerned that they might have to perform wedding ceremonies that would violate their religious beliefs. Those protections were reinforced in both the 2016 and the 2018 NDAAs. Retired Army veteran Arthur A. Schulcz’s testimony filed on July 18, 2022, speaks poignantly to the difficulties of defining and implementing religious freedom policies in the military in recent years. He fought to properly define the role of chaplains in the military in December 2012, working with Congress in anticipation of amendments to the 2013 NDAA to “defend chaplains’ rights to authentically represent their faith to the military, especially in their speech.” He describes the discrimination many in the military have experienced over the years if they dared speak against the prevailing political agenda. The complaint states military chaplains are “unique military officers” because they are both commissioned officers and clergy. As such, they “raise unique statutory and constitutional religious liberty claims, in addition to the claims for systematic violations of service members’ RFRA and First Amendment rights that several courts have recently found Military Defendants likely committed.” The lawsuit states congressional authority concerning honoring and protecting military chaplains’ conscience and faith has been violated by the mandate. Chaplains are unique in their roles as service members because they are afforded additional First Amendment protections as a result of their clerical roles. It has to do with the potential violations of the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause. The Establishment Clause prohibits the government from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion.” Psalm of the Day: St. Patrick’s Breastplate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SXXz5k_F_I&list=PL1C638E88FCA83B7A&index=22 0:18-1:24 Amen!

Highlights: “A group of House Republicans led by Bob Gibbs of Ohio has officially filed three articles of impeachment against Sleepy Joe… Now, while no one believes that Nancy ‘Impeachment' Pelosi is going to see these articles of impeachment, their filing is serving as a galvanizing force for Republicans as we enter into the 2022 midterms.” “The far-left has already basically conceded the midterms and they believe that once the Trump-controlled Republican Party comes into power, they will indeed vote to impeach Bumblin' Biden.”“This is all ultimately about weakening the Democrat Party and steam-rolling them with the return of Trump in 2024.”“Bumblin' Biden and the Dems are getting crushed in the swing states and with these articles of impeachment being officially filed, now you have a battle cry for the midterms. A unifying battle cry to impeach Biden.”“The chaos at the southern border is causing Biden to actually lose his own constituency. He can't even count for Democrats anymore to vote for him.”Timestamps:[02:40] The latest articles of impeachment for Biden coming from House Republicans in Ohio[04:04] How even leftists are admitting that Biden is going to be impeached and that Republicans will trounce Dems in 2022 midterms [06:00] Biden's and the Democrat's imploding polls in swing states[07:52] How the chaos at the southern border is causing Biden to lose his constituents  Resources:Ep. 649 60% Say BIDEN Will Be REPLACED as KAMALA IMPLODES!!!Get Your Brand-New PATRIOT T-Shirts and Merch Here: https://store.turleytalks.com/Become a Turley Talks Insiders Club Member and get the first 7 days FREE!!: https://insidersclub.turleytalks.com/welcomeFight Back Against Big Tech Censorship!

Our "What I Wish Someone Had Told Me" series continues with a different perspective on addiction. Jennifer Kiko, Director of Outreach for Congressman Bob Gibbs, joins Jodi Salvo to discuss her experiences with loved ones struggling through addiction. Jennifer lost her sister to addiction. She explains how, growing up, addiction and similar topics were not discussed within the family. It's all too easy for someone who doesn't understand addiction to say, "Why can't you just stop?" or "You just need to want to quit." For Jennifer's sister, the one person who connected with her and became her supporting person was their uncle. But when he passed away, Jennifer's sister was left alone, and that was the final push. Now, Jennifer is on a mission to help those struggling with addiction. She has spent many years learning and understanding addiction, and her message to the community is simple yet powerful: even if you don't understand addiction, you can still love people. And if you are someone struggling with addiction, please know that YOU matter, and your recovery matters. If you've listened to the previous episodes in this series, you've learned how crucial it is for recovering addicts to have a caring and supporting community around them. And if you're in recovery, you need to trust the people who want to walk alongside you and see you thrive.

The Mamas do hours of study and planning to bring you a great show every T & Th. But this day, this time. January 5 & 6th 2021 will go down as the most remarkable in US history. The Warnock and Ossoff victories in Georgia on the 5th were AMAZING. The mamas were sure this was a great sign for the future of America. Then Orange Caligula called up his insurrection forces and DUPED them once again, this time they stormed our Citadel and performed for their orange overlord.

They had no leadership because trump can barely lead himself to the bathroom much less lead an insurrection.So now we are at the 5 corners of: Inauguration, Sedition, Insurrection, The 25th Amendment, Impeachment, and imprisonment, Add in the alley of "pardon" which the spineless orange bastard is counting on. Because he is a FAILURE at every turn. The Mamas did no pre show they just VENTED and predicted and they are FURIOUS! trump, his enablers are all GUILTY of SEDITION and should be arrested and removed from office IMMEDIATELY!

Bills Highlighted in This Episode H.R. 1155: Searching for and Cutting Regulations that are Unnecessarily Burdensome Act of 2016 (SCRUB Act)" Retrospective Regulatory Review Commission Establishes a new five-year commission that will review government rules to determine which ones should be eliminated "to reduce the costs of regulation to the economy." The Chairman will be appointed by the President and must have "experience in rulemaking". The other eight members will come from lists created by the majority and minority leaders in Congress of "individuals learned in rulemaking". The commission will have subpoena power and "the attendance of witnesses and the production of evidence may be required from any place within the United Stats at any designated place of hearing within the United States." The bill appropriates $30 million which are available until expended. The commission members will be paid, and will be given travel expenses including a per deim. The commission will hire staff, who will also be paid. The commission can hire "experts or consultants", and may "lease space and acquire personal property" "to the extent funds are available" The commission will review the Code of Federal Regulations to find rules "that should be repealed to lower the cost of regulation to the economy". Priority will be given to "major rules" which have been in effect more than 15 years, impose paperwork burdens" which could be reduced without "significantly diminishing" regulatory effectiveness. Goal is to reduce the cost of Federal regulations by 15% with a "minimal reduction" in the effectiveness of the regulations. Criteria for recommending repeal Whether the rule achieved its purpose and could be repealed without "significant" recurrence of adverse effects If technology, time, economic conditions, market practices, or "other relevant factors" have rendered the rule obsolete. If the rule is ineffective If the rule has "excessive compliance costs" or "is otherwise excessively burdensome", as compared to rules that give goals instead of orders and "give economic incentives to encourage desired behavior" If the rule "inhibits innovation in or growth of the United States economy" If the rule "harms competition" of entities based in the United States "Such other criteria as the Commission devises..." Repeal procedure If Congress passes a joint resolution approving the Commission's repeal suggestions, the Federal agencies will have to repeal the rules within 60 days of the joint resolution's enactment. Repealed rules can not be reissued without a new law enacted All records of public meetings and hearings will be published on the Commission's website within 1 week, Regulatory Cut-Go When an agency makes a new rule, they have to repeal a rule recommended by Commission so that costs of enforcement offset each other, but the agency must have a net reduction in costs Vote Passed the House of Representatives 245-174 There is an identical bill in the Senate: S. 1683 President Obama issued a veto threat Author Rep.
