Biden Says Hurricane Ian “Ended” Climate Change Debate; Voicemail to Hunter Surfaces; Harris: “I Love Venn Diagrams”

On 10/5/2022, Biden declared Hurricane Ian had “finally ended” the debate on climate change while surveying damage in Lee County, Florida. A voicemail surfaced of Biden telling Hunter “I think you’re clear” after reading a detailed article about his son’s business dealings — contradicting his claim of no involvement. Harris said “I love Venn Diagrams” during a policy discussion. A Democratic senator admitted “some of it has to fall at the feet of the White House” on inflation, and border officials described a system where migrants are “conditioned and trained” to say “asylum” to gain entry.

”Finally Ended” the Climate Debate

Biden used the hurricane devastation to push his climate agenda. “There’s a lot going on, and I think the one thing this has finally ended is a discussion about whether or not there’s climate change and we should do something about it,” Biden said while surveying damage in Lee County.

The statement drew criticism for politicizing a natural disaster. Hurricanes have hit Florida throughout recorded history, and the claim that any single storm “ends” a scientific debate was seen as exploiting tragedy for political advantage.

Biden also shared a personal anecdote. “We didn’t lose our whole home, but lightning struck and we lost an awful lot of it about 15 years ago. We had relatives nearby. It wasn’t like everything was wiped out, but we know the feeling,” Biden said.

Biden Voicemail: “I Think You’re Clear”

A voicemail from Biden to Hunter surfaced that directly contradicted his claim of having no knowledge of his son’s business dealings. “Hey pal, it’s Dad. It’s 8:15 on Wednesday night. If you get a chance, give me a call. Nothing urgent. I just want to talk to you,” Biden said in the recording. “I thought the article — at least it’s been out online, it’s going to be printed tomorrow in the Times — it’s good. I think you’re clear. And anyway, if you get a chance, give me a call. I love you.”

A commentator explained the significance. “That’s staggering. The sitting president of the United States is telling the American people — I was always well aware of the business ventures my family was involved in. So much so, I could tell my son ‘I read a detailed article that has 50 facts in it’ about corruption, China, the Chinese Communist Party, and say ‘you’re in the clear, Hunter,’” the commentator said.

Harris: “I Love Venn Diagrams”

Harris delivered another memorable aside during a policy discussion. “I’ve actually asked my team to do a Venn Diagram. I love Venn Diagrams. I just love Venn Diagrams. You know, the three circles, right? Sometimes there are more,” Harris said.

The comment joined her growing collection of viral moments that critics characterized as unserious for a vice president.

Democrat Admits: “Falls at the Feet of the White House”

A Democratic senator offered a rare honest assessment on inflation. “Some of it has to fall at the feet of the White House,” the senator said. “It’s perfectly understandable that people hold the President in power and the Congress in power, including me, responsible for solving this problem. We’re there. We’re the decision makers. I accept that responsibility.”

Border: “Conditioned to Say Asylum”

A border official described how the system was being exploited. “When you look at asylum, people are conditioned, they’re trained, they’re taught — if you say the word ‘asylum,’ you will be let in,” the official said. “There’s no provision to detain them, and they are released where they promise to appear. The vast majority fail to appear.”

“The Border Patrol estimates there are three times the number of people that they interact with,” the official added. “Instead of maintaining the integrity of our border, they’re now actually being custodians of the individuals coming across.”
