for years we've been warning on this
[6]
show
[7]
that the establishment will do anything
[9]
to get their
[10]
power back trump's new conservative
[13]
populism pro
[14]
business on tax and regulation
[16]
pro-worker on trade and immigration
[18]
reversed decades of wage stagnation for
[21]
working americans and brought us
[23]
historically
[24]
low unemployment but the establishment
[26]
hated it
[27]
corporate america hated it it's the
[29]
exact opposite of their ideology
[32]
globalism to them the idea of putting
[34]
america first is uncouth
[36]
embarrassing their priority is not
[38]
improving the lives of american workers
[40]
and families
[41]
but winning the approval of their
[43]
friends in the elite
[44]
by reciting the correct mantras on the
[46]
climate crisis systemic racism and
[48]
inequality
[49]
preferably by taking private jets to
[51]
conferences at luxury resorts where the
[53]
liberal white bosses are waited on by
[56]
people of color
[57]
underpinning this entire elitist
[60]
establishment
[61]
is the swamp the swamp is what makes it
[64]
all work
[65]
big business in bed with big government
[67]
the revolving door between the two
[70]
lobbying influence peddling whining and
[72]
dining you could call it
[74]
structural corruption and ever since he
[77]
got into the presidential race we've
[78]
been telling you
[80]
that joe biden is the swamp
[83]
but it's hard to believe how openly and
[85]
comprehensively he's now proving just
[87]
how right we were
[89]
last week we showed you his so-called
[91]
transition team
[92]
crawling with swamp lobbyists and
[94]
corporate cronies from big tech and big
[95]
business
[96]
tonight we'll bring you details you have
[99]
not seen reported anywhere else
[101]
about biden's scheme to bring the swamp
[104]
directly into the white house at the
[107]
highest level
[108]
he wants to do it in the form of this
[111]
man
[112]
steve the swamp richetti rachetti
[115]
was named this week as councillor to the
[117]
president on a chart in which biden
[119]
grandly announced
[121]
his white house senior staff richetti is
[124]
a living breathing example of
[126]
everything that is corrupt and broken in
[128]
our government
[129]
it's so disgusting that even fellow
[132]
democrats wanted to stop biden bringing
[134]
him in
[134]
even elizabeth warren has warned against
[136]
him back in 2008
[138]
president obama's top aides blocked
[141]
steve riccetti from being hired but joe
[143]
biden
[144]
was so desperate to have his corrupt
[145]
crony by his side
[147]
that he found a loophole and rochetti
[148]
ended up as vice president biden's chief
[150]
of staff
[152]
riccetti's swamp career started in the
[154]
late 80s when he began running the
[155]
lobbying department for the blue cross
[157]
and blue shield association
[159]
then he went on to be the executive
[161]
director of the democratic senatorial
[163]
campaign committee before
[164]
joining the clinton administration in
[167]
1992
[168]
and guess what he did there this man
[171]
richetti
[172]
who biden working class joe from
[174]
scranton pennsylvania
[176]
champion of blue collar america the man
[178]
that biden wants
[179]
right by his side in the white house is
[182]
the very same man who bullied
[184]
democrats in congress into voting for
[187]
nafta
[188]
resulting in the collapse of american
[189]
manufacturing and the shipping of
[191]
millions of jobs overseas
[193]
once richetti was done selling out
[195]
american workers
[196]
he cashed in on his public service by
[198]
selling his government contacts and
[200]
experience
[201]
to the highest bidder with a new
[202]
lobbying firm that he opened along with
[204]
his brother
[205]
jeff richetti and associates
[209]
remind you of anything two brothers
[212]
well-connected washington insiders part
[214]
of the corrupt clinton gang
[216]
opening a swamp lobbying firm with their
[218]
name above the door yep
[219]
just like the podestas and would you
[222]
believe it
[222]
the richettis ended up selling their
[225]
sleazy firm
[226]
to the podesta's sleazy firm and the two
[229]
sets of brothers
[230]
shared the spoils jeff riccetti went on
[233]
to work for tony podesta
[235]
on the outside while steve richetti went
[238]
back into the white house
[239]
to work for john podesta isn't that neat
[242]
in fact at the time tony podesta even
[246]
compared this rotten quartet
[248]
to the medici family who ruled italy in
[250]
the renaissance saying
[251]
quote the medicis controlled everything
[254]
we have it split into two families
[258]
have you ever heard anything so
[260]
nauseatingly arrogant
[262]
the government's supposed to work for
[264]
you the american people but for
[265]
washington's insular ruling elite
[267]
government is just an opportunity to
[269]
make themselves rich and powerful in the
[271]
election campaign
[273]
we called it biodynamics you get poorer
[276]
they get richer that is steve riccetti's
[279]
core belief system
[281]
he wasn't done screwing american workers
[283]
with nafta there were millions more
[284]
manufacturing jobs he could send away
[286]
thousands of
[287]
working-class communities across the
[288]
heartland that he could hollow out and
[290]
destroy
[291]
in 2000 before leaving the white house
[294]
it was steve
[295]
riccetti who led the charge in getting
[298]
china
[299]
admitted to the wto yeah that deal
[303]
probably the single most destructive act
[305]
of economic self-harm
[306]
in american history so nafta
[309]
and china nice work steve the swamp
[313]
once his dirty work in the clinton white
[315]
house was done well you can guess the
[316]
next part
[317]
it was time for the rochette's to cash
[319]
out they started another lobbying firm
[321]
richetti inc and you can guess who hired
[324]
them
[324]
a laundry list of corporate america's
[326]
biggest names
[328]
telecoms companies like att siemens
[330]
sprint and nextel pharma companies like
[333]
pfizer eli lilly and novartis insurance
[336]
associations
[337]
hospital trade groups even tech
[339]
companies like ebay
[340]
and of course the military-industrial
[342]
complex with defense contractors
[344]
like united technologies in 2008
[349]
steve richetti went back into the bowels
[351]
of clinton inc
[352]
bundling donations for hillary's first
[354]
failed presidential campaign
[356]
after she lost he eventually managed to
[358]
worm his way into the obama
[360]
administration skirting
[361]
new ethics rules by deregistering as a
[364]
lobbyist and
[365]
rebranding himself an advisor that's the
[368]
democrat way
[369]
you lobby but i advise
[373]
in fact despite deregistering as a
[375]
lobbyist and without signing an ethics
[377]
waiver
[377]
rochetti still managed to rake in 1.8
[380]
million dollars
[381]
from his lobbying firm in 2011 dwarfing
[384]
his income as a white house official
[387]
and after sneaking rochetti in a year
[390]
later in 2013
[392]
he took over as vice president biden's
[394]
chief of staff where he remained for the
[395]
duration of the obama administration
[398]
all while his brother jeff continued
[402]
his lobbying through richetti inc oh but
[405]
i'm sure there was
[406]
no special access right no way that
[408]
swamp lobbyist jeff riccetti would in
[410]
any way benefit from the fact that his
[411]
brother steve
[412]
was the vice president chief of staff i
[414]
mean that kind of thing would never
[415]
happen around joe biden who
[417]
always insists on a strict separation
[420]
between
[421]
government business and family interests
[424]
and of course there's absolutely no
[426]
connection at all obviously
[427]
between the fact that jeff richetti's
[429]
lobbying business later saw a massive
[431]
spike in business
[433]
just as his brother steve the swamp
[435]
became chairman of biden's presidential
[438]
campaign
[438]
in 2019 new clients picked up by the
[442]
biden campaign sorry richetti inc it's
[444]
so easy to get confused
[445]
including multinational corporations and
[447]
big tech and big pharma
[449]
clients like glaxosmithkline a british
[451]
pharma giant and one of the most
[453]
heavily fined drug companies in the
[455]
world
[456]
in 2012 they will find three billion
[458]
dollars in one settlement alone
[460]
for bribing doctors to prescribe
[462]
antidepressants to children
[464]
or clients like applied materials which
[467]
sells semiconductor manufacturing
[469]
equipment
[470]
to china helping the chinese military
[473]
produce precision weapons but that's
[476]
fine because
[477]
well joe china i guess
[481]
president trump completely reoriented
[483]
the west's policy towards china
[485]
after 50 years of establishment suck-up
[488]
that put china on the brink of world
[490]
domination
[490]
we are finally standing up to them but
[493]
now we're seeing
[494]
ominous reports that biden wants to roll
[497]
it all
[498]
back on day one according to axios
[501]
biden wants re-engagement he wants to
[504]
unwind trump-era actions to reverse the
[507]
crackdown on
[508]
china's spying to remove restrictions on
[510]
chinese journalists in the u.s
[512]
this is the establishment agenda this is
[515]
the big business agenda and
[516]
biden wants steve the swamp richetti
[519]
right there in the oval office pushing
[521]
it
[522]
for years conservatives may have thought
[524]
positively of corporate america we're
[526]
pro-business right yes we are but we are
[530]
pro
[530]
real business not these giant global
[533]
bureaucracies
[534]
that corporate america has become we are
[536]
pro-small business
[538]
pro-entrepreneur conservatives need to
[540]
wake up
[541]
corporate america is not your friend
[544]
just since the election not just
[546]
facebook and twitter but big businesses
[548]
including airbnb
[549]
paypal and target have attacked
[551]
conservatives
[553]
corporate america looks down on you
[556]
corporate america censors you
[558]
corporate america hates you and now
[561]
corporate america wants even more power
[564]
over you by putting its stooge in the
[567]
white house
[568]
steve the swamp richetti a godfather of
[571]
nafta
[572]
an agent for china a corrupt swamp
[574]
lobbyist who got
[576]
rich of pretending to work for you
[579]
he is a symbol of everything that's
[581]
wrong with our system
[583]
his presence in the white house would be
[585]
a stain on our democracy it would be
[587]
wrong
[588]
and unacceptable and we must not let it
[591]
happen
[592]
we must stop the biden swamp
