Live from Music Row Friday morning on The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy – broadcast on Nashville’s Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. – host Leahy welcomed the original all-star panelist Crom Carmichael to the studio for another edition of Crom’s Commentary.
CARMICHAEL SAID:
Michael, we’ve talked a lot about the institution of equality under the law as being the bedrock of a civil society and a free society. And we’ve also so talked about how Joe Biden has always been, in his adult life, a grifter.
And I’m defining a grifter here, for those who haven’t heard it, as somebody whose every single decision that they make from a policy standpoint has a strong element of selfishness in it. Now, it might be selfish for himself, it might be selfish for his family, or it might be selfish for the Democrat Party.
But if it doesn’t benefit to the exclusion of all else, one of those three, then he is not for the policy. And by the way, that extends to his foreign policy, which is why you’re seeing so much angst amongst our allies, and love from our enemies and our adversaries.
But the latest one is that he has now put out an executive order, or he has told his agencies, to only do infrastructure business with companies that are unionized.
Now, that’s against the law. The Supreme Court has already ruled on this, but he’s doing it anyway, because that’s just the way he thinks. If a private company that’s not unionized and does work gives a lower bid, and therefore saves the taxpayer money – and that helps everybody – Joe Biden is simply not interested.
He only wants to support unions. Now let’s look at who he’s just appointed – he’s appointed, Sarah Bloom Raskin is his most recent nominee … [though] not confirmed yet, to the Federal Reserve Board. And it turns out that she has a terrible, past conflict of interest where, in her position of power, she picked up the phone, and she got a company that she was invested in, got them a Fed Master account. Getting a Fed Master account, that’s a very specific term, is extremely difficult to get.
And only the biggest companies, only the biggest financial institutions, have a Fed Master account. She picked up the phone and called somebody at the Kansas City Federal Reserve and got this small business one.
This is not a person who should be on the Federal Reserve Board, especially at this time. It shows her greedy judgment that she’s using a position of power to get something that the company that she worked with does not deserve.
This is what’s happening throughout the Biden administration. And now what we’re seeing, and we’ll just kind of extend this just for a second, we’re seeing Democrat governors and we’re seeing lawmakers who are recognizing that the public is literally sick and tired of Biden’s continuous lies about COVID.
And so they are dumping Biden’s COVID restrictions. It is hysterical to listen to CNN say laudatory things about the Democrats who are breaking with Biden on COVID, after those very same people, only 10 days ago, trashed governor Youngkin of Virginia for doing exactly the same thing. It shows that they are a member of the grifter club in good standing.
